Are you an heir?

ARE YOU AN HEIR?

 

In his great mercy he has given us new birth . . . into an inheritance . . .
kept in heaven for you . . . (1 Pet. 1:3-4 NIV).

 

I would never have believed that brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and other close relatives could be so greedy about getting a share of someone else's wealth. But one day I was called upon to mediate a family quarrel over the distribution of the household possessions — and we hadn't even conducted the funeral service for their departed relative yet!

 

Some attorneys are using modern technology in the preparation of wills. Along with the legal documents, they record the person reading his own will on a video tape recorder. After the client's death, the lawyer simply plays the tape, and the family members see the reading of the will by the deceased relative

 

You may never have been the recipient of an inheritance. Don't feel too badly about that. The Apostle Peter assures us that each of us will receive our share of a greater inheritance, one that is "kept in heaven for you."

 

In order to become an heir, you must be born into the family.

 

Life response: I will be sure of my inheritance because I will know for sure that I have been born again.
