As you have decided to follow Christ and become His child, you are an heir of God. What are things you can inherit? It is countless. There are so many promises for you. You have to believe that the promises will be fulfilled in your life. These are some of God’s promises for you:

 

God promises to give you eternal life.

1 John 2:25  And this is the promise that He has promised us––eternal life.

 

God promises to forgive you.

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

God promises to give you the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:13  "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

 

God promises to give you wisdom.

James 1:5  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

 

Many people don’t know that when they become children of God, they will inherit so many promises. You are God’s heir. Could an heir be illegal? Yes, when you decide to not be child of God anymore—you worship other gods. But when you become the child of God, you have to do an obligation. What is it?

1 Peter 1:15-16  but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

God is holy, and to be His children, we must be holy as well. This is the obligation. Do your own part, and He will do His unseen part. Do it with joy, and God will do great things and His promises will be fulfilled in your life.

 

When you are chosen to be the child of God, you become the citizen of heaven at the very time.
