Heirs in Abba’s Hands

Trying to keep the law is like being a slave, but living by faith in Jesus is like inheriting a fortune. Jesus bought this inheritance for us by crawling under the yoke of the law and climbing onto the cross to redeem us. Forgiveness is just the beginning of the inheritance, which includes the Holy Spirit’s assurance that we belong to him, the privilege of participation in the “family business,”and above all, the intimate access of calling God Abba! Father! Knowing we are the beloved “sons” and daughters in the hands of a God this wise helps us trust him as we wait to receive our full inheritance: seeing him face to face in a perfectly healed world, and living together with him forever.
