"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him." -Romans 8:16-17 (NASB)
One of the middle school science units includes learning about genetics and heredity. Students learn that we can trace traits through a family and understand where different looks originate. When we look at our spirit, we may not be able to look at DNA, but we are reassured by tracing faith, hope, and love through the Spirit and directly to God!
The Holy Spirit reminds and reassures us that we are all God's children. As God's children, we can inherit traits from God, our Father. As His children, we should strive to show the traits or characteristics of His love, caring, and forgiveness. Beyond just showing these traits, we can also know that we will be heirs to His Kingdom. As we consider our inheritance from God, we cannot imagine what He has in store for us, but we can know that we will spend eternity in the presence of His love, glory, and power. Wow, what an inheritance!
The Spirit reminds us that, as God's children, we are heirs to eternal glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me, for being my Heavenly Father, and for reassuring me of my inheritance. Please help me to share this inheritance with others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
