Galatians 4:6-7 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."
Sons of God. Heirs of the Creator. No longer servants under bondage. But freed children of God possessing the Spirit of His Son!
These are incredible, encouraging thoughts. Until, maybe, we look in the mirror and see all our faults. Until we have a bad day, lose our temper, or face a grave disappointment. In those moments, are position as children of God may not seem as real. But it is in those moments of hardship and temptation that we are to cry out, "Abba, Father!"
Just that simple cry ought to remind us of our position, of our station in Christ. Not just sons and daughters of the King of kings, but heirs to His Kingdom. This heirship gives new meaning to our command to pray that God's Kingdom comes. As heirs, suddenly we have a personal interest in that prayer, a personal stake. What a privilege to be God's child and heir!
