(S)cripture-
Gal. 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
(O)bservation-
Praise God for our inheritance that He has given to us because we are His sons (and daughters). This inheritance being our salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus, which is the most important thing we could ever have. Prior to receiving this inheritance we were all slaves, held under the oppressive nature of this world and bound by the sin that can so easily entangle us. But now that we are God's children we are truly free because of the cross. Jesus paid the ultimate price for all of us - all we have to do is receive the gift and believe in Him and we are set free. In doing this we become God's children with an inheritance in Heaven forever.
(A)pplication-
I am so blessed to know that my future is secure and that I am God's son who has an eternal inheritance. Without Jesus, we would all still be slaves. Slaves to the law - judged by it and entangled in a web of sin - and slaves to the world being subject to all its ungodliness. But God said 'no way... I will send Jesus as a New Covenant so I can redeem My children to Me and whoever believes in Him will be an heir to My Kingdom in Heaven'. This is so cool that we have such a loving and gracious God!
(P)rayer-
Father God, thank You for my inheritance! I praise You for Your grace, love, and mercy that delivered me from the slavery of sin and things of this world. I am truly blessed to be Your son and that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice to make that happen. I re-dedicate myself to You and ask Father that You lead me through Your Holy Spirit so that I would be an obedient son and witness for Your Kingdom in order to glorify Your Holy Name. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
