We Shall Inherit All Things, December 31
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son [daughter].
Revelation 21:7
.
In order to inherit all things, we must resist and overcome sin
We may have joy in the Lord if we will keep His commandments. If we
indeed have our citizenship above, and a title to an immortal inheritance, an
eternal substance, we have that faith which works by love and purifies the
soul.... We are members of the heavenly family, children of the heavenly
King, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. At His coming we shall
have the crown of life that fadeth not away
The Monarch of heaven would have you possess and enjoy all that
can ennoble, expand, and exalt your being and fit you to dwell with Him
forever, your existence measuring with the life of God. What a prospect is
the life which is to come! What charms it possesses! How broad and deep
and measureless is the love of God manifested to man
The privileges granted to the children of God are without limit,—to
be connected with Jesus Christ, who, throughout the universe of heaven
and worlds that have not fallen, is adored by every heart, and His praises
sung by every tongue; to be children of God, to bear His name, to become
a member of the royal family; to be ranged under the banner of Prince
Immanuel, the King of kings and Lord of lords
The Son of God was the heir of all things, and the dominion and glory
of the kingdoms of this world were promised to Him.... Even as Christ
was in the world, so are His followers. They are the sons of God, and joint
heirs with Christ; and the kingdom and dominion belong to them
In place of the world, He will give you, for a life of obedience, the
kingdom under the whole heavens. He will give you an eternal weight of
glory and a life that is as enduring as eternity
