“But as  many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”  
John 1:12-13
 
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.  For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out ‘Abba’ Father.”   
Romans 8:14-15
 
Christianity is a relationship.  Not merely a set of doctrines.  In the beginning, God had a personal relationship with Adam and Eve before the Fall.  Jesus came to earth to save and to reconcile us to God our Father.
 
Remember His answers to Nicodemus John 3:1-21:
“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’”  
John 3:3
 
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”  John 3:16-17
 
Of John 3:16 (We see this verse posted all around.)  this is our Father’s invitation to come to dwell with Him in eternity.
 
It was the Father’s choice to choose us, in Christ Jesus, for adoption before the foundation of the world.
“Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will.”   
Ephesians 1:4-5
 
“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”  Galatians 3:26
 
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God!…Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what  we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”  1 John 3:1-2
 
We are the children of God!  And as His children we are heirs.
“Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”  Galatians 4:7
 
The objects of our inheritance--
The kingdom:
“Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”  
Matthew 25:34
 
Eternal life:
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit everlasting life.” 
Matthew 19:29
 
Blessings:
“Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.”  1 Peter 3:8-9 
 
All things:
“He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”  
Revelation 21:7
 
And of our spiritual inheritance--
Our inheritance is sealed:
“…Having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance…”
Ephesians 1:13-14
 
Our inheritance is from the Lord:
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”  
Colossians 3:23-24
 
Our inheritance is incorruptible and reserved for us:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.”  
1 Peter 1:3-4
 
Hallelujah! All praise and glory to you Holy God!  In awesome joy and with grateful hearts we say, thank you Father!  Amen
