Day 16 "You Are Royalty"
Royal Inheritance
Good Morning Beauties!
Royalty? Do you believe it? Our next attribute is one that many have a difficult time believing, and I think it’s due to our strong Earthly view of the subject. It’s hard to get images of the British Royal Family out of our minds. Castles, The Royal Guard, Ceremony, etc. Queen Elizabeth, now there’s a strong picture of what it means to be royal. She led the country and her family with conviction and loyalty by submitting to Jesus.
Is a royal life really for us? I come from a family of pig farmers in Germany. What is your heritage? The shift must be made from our Earthly heritage to our Eternal one. We are part of God’s Royal Family! Hallelujah!
Let’s look to see how Paul describes our inheritance to the Ephesians, “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.” Eph 1:11-14 NIV
Our inheritance is the sum total of all God has promised us in salvation which is being reserved for us in heaven, and we are being preserved until the time it will be given to us. It will surely be awaiting us and we will surely receive it. Peter writes, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you.” 1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV
This passage tells us that not only does the Word of God guarantee we will finally possess our inheritance, but also the Holy Spirit guarantees that we will finally possess what God has promised. What do think about this truth? What lies are coming to mind that you need to replace with your royal status? Selah.
Here’s an encouraging praise song to our Victorious King. Let’s get up and get moving in confidence!
