The Greek word for heir (klēronomos) means ” possess or obtain a lot or portion of something. ” In this case, an inheritance with Christ is available to all who are offspring and in righteous standing in a relationship with the Father. Rom 8:17 (AMP) And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. Churches no longer teach their congregants about righteousness as a practiced spiritual state, regarding the truth about Christ and His character.
I already expressed leadership pandering to sinful natures, hoping all will see a need for a better life as pew fillers paying tithes. But this mannerism is precisely why I’m writing about righteousness and how saints struggle to live it by the Spirit of God, despite a Father who sees them doing so. Many testify in society that they are Christians, but the words that come out of their mouths are proof that they are not to be seen as such. They speak the exact cursive and abusive language as the world, making them appear as unbelievers. Dare anyone preach about it? (And if they do – hypocrites?)
No believer in Christ is greater in God’s family than another; and no son or daughter has a more significant inheritance; all are counted as righteous and heirs to the promises God says are in the blessings to be distributed on this earth. Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Grace & Truth, not Sin & Darkness
God established humanity to have dominion over this earth by His word, which would have changed everything if Adam had not fallen. That is why supernatural blessings in the spiritual realm are transferred only through His heirs of righteousness. Ps 37:22 (AMP)For such as are blessed of God shall [in the end] inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off. In God’s plans for His creation, as revealed in scripture, there will never be another Church Age; thus, believers are to grasp that they are the only ones who can live a righteous lifestyle and fulfill the Church’s purpose in God’s plan of reconciliation.
Your ability to fulfill a part of God’s plan is directly for this age of faith on earth through His truth and grace in and through you, the believer. John 1:16-17 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Your efforts to reveal the truth about Christ are all done under grace, a critical part of righteousness, and since scripture says grace is a measure of favor afforded to you through Him, it is unearned. Thus, it cannot be merited by what you do but only by what Jesus has done for you.
The fact that sin still abounds in humanity is reason enough to reveal grace and truth in Christ. So, to understand some things about grace, let’s consider that it abounds from God toward you in Christ. It is laden with many doctrines bearing religious narratives, some even expressing unrighteous efforts to satisfy men’s authority. However, one’s witness and testimony as a believer is to reveal the nature and essence of God, which is their reasonable service. God affords grace to all who believe in Christ and who afford grace to others.
This act of grace reveals the measure of faith many believers have, but the hate in the world today speaks of no grace toward others and is often driven by evils accepted as truth. The following says we are to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. Rom 12:1 (ISV) I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship. However, if we look at another translation of this verse, we may see that it may not be what we think it is or what pulpits have taught over the centuries.
Rom 12:1 (TPT) Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Humanity is the object of God’s love and is no longer under sin or any dispensation of it. Therefore, grace should promote a desire to sacrifice the old nature and to live a new divine nature in holiness, revealing the Father through Christ Jesus our Lord.
So, carefully listen to what the Holy Spirit says in these scriptures, as His witness of Christ reveals grace and truth. God does not fool around regarding His offspring’s conduct, as He is fully capable of working through a now-imperfect creation that must spiritually reveal these truths so that every witness reveals a Christlike character. 1 John 4:4-9 (NKJV)You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore, they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
The very character of the Holy Spirit through you reveals Christ by grace and truth. Therefore, as a believer, do not accept sin but acknowledge that others are still in need of a savior, and reveal grace while living in a way that they see Christ in you. Believers who have such a witness believe that grace and truth are vital principles of a righteous stature. What you do by the Spirit of God when liberty works through you affirms that an image of God is within you. Living without righteousness is not living according to any terms of life, as God has deemed necessary for us to do so, since He has deemed us living by the Spirit of Truth.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Churches that offer no instruction on righteousness are misguided and mixed with worldly statutes amid today’s social enigmas. Pulpits and other areas duped by ignorance deter truths revealed through scripture by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, carefully consider what you read next. 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
“He who does not love does not know God.”
