Who wants to be a Co-Heir?

Let’s read Romans 8:14-17

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory”.

Can you imagine how it would feel like if Mr.Ambani, the richest man in all of India was to adopt you as his son or daughter? And can you imagine having all the comforts and luxuries of this world guaranteed as a result of your adoption by Mr.Ambani. Now try to multiply that feeling by a zillion (countless) times. IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE, isn’t it?? Well, such is the magnitude of this mystery revealed unto us through the Apostle Paul.

Religion is “MAN IN SERACH OF GOD”. Spirituality is “GOD IN SEARCH OF MAN”.

If “Christianity” is just a religion to you, then you will always see God as a colossal being who treats man as a mere slave and as one who expects man to work his way towards Him through rituals/customs and good deeds.

“Christianity” is not merely a religion, not merely a milestone to cross but a journey on the only “WAY” paved by the Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ. This “WAY” resulted from God’s desire to bring us back to His Glory as His children.

What a Blessed assurance we have IN CHRIST..!

He is our “Spiritual elder brother”. We have this unimaginable privilege of addressing God as our “Abba, Father” only and only because of our undeserved yet true adoption to His sonship. We share not just the “GLORY” with Christ; we also share in His “SUFFERING”. Hence, do not pester God to remove suffering from your life, on the contrary “REJOICE” in your suffering (Romans 5:3-5)..!!

Those who are “Spirit led” are “Heaven fed”..!!
