You are a child of God and a co-heir with Jesus

“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.” (Gal. 4:7 NIV)

What does it mean to be an heir with God?

To be an heir to God means everything that God owns belongs to us as well because we belong to Him. Our eternal inheritance as co-heirs with Christ is the result of the amazing grace of God.

“And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.” (Gal. 3:29 NASB)

You become an heir to God when you receive Jesus and become born-again

“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God -- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.” (John 1:12-13 NIV)

“…that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” (Rom. 10:9-10)

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” (1 Peter 1:3)

“Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God's children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The 'many mansions' are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.” - Charles Spurgeon
