We Have The Holy Spirit Continually Telling Us That We Are Joint-Heirs With Jesus

“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:6

Now that we are saved, we have the Spirit of God Who tells us that we are joint-heirs through Christ. We are joint-heirs, we are not ugly stepchildren, we are not servants, we are joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. All of His honor, we jointly share, all of His possessions we jointly share. “All things the Father hath are Mine; therefore I said I, that He (The Holy Ghost) shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:15 Jesus, who thought that it was not robbery to be called equal with God, is the One Who we are now joint-heirs with. We are now joint-heirs with the One Who said if you had seen Him than you had seen God. All that He is, all that He has, we are now one with!

That is some awesome stuff; words cannot even begin to describe the power of this Truth, we are joint heirs with Christ. Just think about the power of Jesus, who He is, what He can do, the love He possesses, the mind of service He has, what He has power over, and then say, yeah God said it, so I definitely am, a joint-heir with all of that, WOW! God gave it all to Jesus, He created Him, all that Jesus is, and all that He has is directly from God, and we are now one with all of it. Look at how God says that we will be when Jesus returns. “Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” 1 John 3:2

You have to have the Spirit in you to even begin to think about it, because if you are just in the flesh, just playing religion, you will freak out over this. People in the church who are without the Holy Spirit will fulfill Jesus' prophesy over this. "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth God service." John 16:2 You begin to talk like you really are a joint-heir with Christ and watch what happens. But we are not those who faint and are destroyed by a lack of knowledge, and we do not reject knowledge as Hosea prophesied. No, we are now more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, we now have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us and He is praising God and assuring us all of the time that we are heirs, joint heirs with Christ! We have seen what a child of God is like in Jesus, and we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that we too are the children of God, and as Jesus is, so are we in this earth! And we have the Spirit of God continually telling us these Truths that set us free!
