family teaching #7: true heirs
|
Rom8..14 For as many as are led by
the Spirit of GOD, these are
sons of GOD.
15 For you did not receive
the spirit of bondage again
to fear, but you received the
Spirit of adoption by whom we
cry out, "Abba, Father."
16 The Spirit Himself bears
witness with our spirit that
we are children of GOD,
17 And if children, then
heirs - heirs of GOD and
joint heirs with Christ, if
indeed we suffer, that we may
also be glorified together.

1Jn3..8 He who sins is of the
devil, for the devil has
sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of
GOD was manifested, that He
might destroy the works of
the devil (in us).
9 Whoever has been born of
GOD does not sin, for His
seed remains in him; and he
cannot sin, because he has
been born of GOD.
10 In this the children of
GOD and the children of the
devil are manifested: whoever
does not practice
righteousness is not of GOD,
nor he who does not love his
brother.

GOD's holy, eternal covenant from Gen15 applies to true descendants of the faith, never
mere offspring (witness Ishmael and Esau), tho they claim to believe, but are false.
GOD's covenant continues in spiritual Israel or sons of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or true Jews
Deut10:16; 30:6 Rom2:29 Col2:11, so Rom11 Rev3:9, as very few come or grow to full belief.
GOD's standard in Abraham demands we "walk" Rom4 Jam2, till we qualify Rom6,
to belong to Christ Gal3,4,5, then are we truly His children, born of Him, His heirs.
GOD's very few true heirs copy Him in all things, daily overcoming all evil.

Zech13..9 I will bring the third
through the fire, will refine
them as silver is refined,
and test them as gold is
tested. They will call on My
name, and I will answer them.
I will say, 'This My people;'
and each one will say, 'The
LORD my GOD.'

2Cor6..17 Therefore "Come out from
among them and be separate,
says the LORD. Do not touch
what is unclean, and I will
receive you."
18 "I will be a Father to
you, and you shall be My sons
and daughters, says the LORD
Almighty."

1Pet4..17 For the time for judgement
to begin at the house of GOD;
and if with us first, what
will the end of those who do
not obey the gospel of GOD?
18 Now "If the righteous one
is scarcely saved, where will
the ungodly and the sinner
appear?"

GOD's hard standard to be just or right is clear in Rom2:13; 6:16, rarely believed, lived,
taught in the current church, so very few are truly His people, pure, holy, copying Him.
GOD's true people are free Mat1:21 Gal1:4; 4 Rom6, know Him Deut34:10 Job42:5 1Jn3:2,6; 5:20,
blessed Mat5 Rev20:6 Rom9, endure Mk13:13 Rom10:13 Heb3:6,14 Rev20:4, thru Rom12:1,2.
GOD's true house, people, temple is His 3rd part, His holiest Heb8:2; 9:3, 10:19-22,
His Zion 1Cor3:9,16 Eph2 Heb12:22,23 Rev21:2,3,22, till Mat24:22 Rev6:9-11; 11:7; 19.
GOD in 2Pet3 promised new heavens, in Lk23:43 promised Paradise (2Cor12:4), as in Rev21:1.
