Romans - Part 4: SPIRITSample

An Heir of the Master

If you are a slave, you fear him. But if you are a son of the Master you are loved by Him, and you love Him.

How can you become a son of the Master?

You are brought into the Master’s family by adoption. When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit brings about your adoption into the Master’s family. Then, we can call the Master “Abba,” “Daddy,” and “Father.”

Did you stop and think? If I am the Master’s child, then I am an heir! I share the great riches of the Master! Not only that, but I am a co-heir with Christ! We share all things with Jesus. We share His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.

Think of the great riches you can share with Jesus, the Master. He forgave our sins. He carries our burdens. After years of PTSD from the Vietnam War, I asked Jesus to take it away. I gave it to Him and He carries that burden for me and I no longer have nightmares of Vietnam.
