There are some interesting truths stated in Gal. 4: 4 - 7. Here are the Biblical facts:
1. Those who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior are redeemed from the Law: essentially from the consequences of not being able to keep the law. (see Gal. 3: 13).
2. We receive the adoption of sons (or daughters) by God.
3. We have been given the right to call Father God, Abba, or Daddy.
4. We no longer servants but sons.
5. We are called heirs of God.

Here is an interesting truth: being an heir is not something you earn. You are an heir to someone by relationship and by position. In the natural we are usually related to the person who considers us an heir. That is a relationship by blood. In this case we are related to God by the blood of Jesus.

We are also considered an heir of God by our position. These scriptures say that we have been adopted as sons. When someone is adopted they are usually hand picked by the adopting parents. You were handpicked by God to be his child. Now because you are his handpicked child you are eligible for the inheritance as an heir appointed by God.

Many Christians believe that we only receive our inheritance after we die. Yes we do. We receive eternal life. However as it is in the natural the inheritance is distributed at the death of the one who appointed you an heir.

According to the Word of God found in Heb. 9: 15 - 17 Jesus was the testator or the giver of the inheritance and after He died the inheritance was made available to those would accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

So what is our inheritance? All that is promised to you in the Word of God. Have you read the will yet? Have you found what is yours? Have you accepted what Jesus Christ died to provide for you in this life and the next?
Read the will!!
