Essentials Of The Faith / Adult Sunday School Class / The Good Stuff: Identity In Christ

Week 7

Review of what we learned last Spring

Heir/New Family/Adopted/Chosen

ILL: A well dressed lawyer has arrived at your door, informing you that your great uncle Joe has passed on and you are listed as his sole heir to a multi million dollar estate. You close the door because you don’t believe it.

Charles Stanley in his book  ‘Discovering Your Identity In Christ’  said  ‘Many daydream of one day inheriting a fortune…come on admit it. But, the fact is, as a believer in Jesus Christ, you ARE the heir of the most incredible, awesome, lavish inheritance any person could ever dream to receive!’

Read: Eph 1:1-3      Blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing
          Eph. 2:7         Exceeding riches of his grace
          Eph. 1:11       We HAVE obtained an inheritance
          2 Cor. 2:9      Eye has not see…the things God has prepared

Q: How huge is our inheritance?

    It is so glorious, so vast that we can not truly comprehend it.

Q: How do you feel knowing you are an Heir of God?
