An Heir

Adalyn Roberts, Co-Director of Children’s Ministry

• BIBLE VERSE

  1 Peter 1:4 “To obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you”

• INTERPRETATION

  Our inheritance is being a child of God, an heir to the kingdom in heaven, an everlasting life with Jesus in heaven.

• BREAKTHROUGH

  God’s kingdom – No work required.

• LIFE APPLICATION

  In the last year I have worked my tail off being the executor of a probate estate. I am one of 11 heirs and what we have to go through just to close the estate and receive what my uncle has left for us seems like a part time job!! How exciting to think that I am an heir to the Kingdom of God!! I don’t have to sign any papers, go to court, get approvals from anyone or hire any lawyers. I was just welcomed with the most loving arms that I will ever know, accepting, forgiving, and unchanging. Being a heir is simply a gift that I don’t need to earn, its value will never change and its worth will always be priceless.

• ENTREATY

  Lord Jesus. Thank you for creating me and giving me a chance to give back to you. Thank you for all that you are to me and for allowing me to see lives be change for you!! Most of all thank you for uncovering my eyes to see who the one and only true God is. Amen
