ASLC Devotions -- Thursday

1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

There's an important point about Christian theology that I think we don't spend enough time pondering or talking about. It has to do with who we are as baptized children of God. And that's that: we are children of God... and as children of God, the Bible tells us that we're co-heirs with Christ. We share in Christ's inheritance as the eternal Son of God. That's amazing!

Just think about it: you will inherit from God just the same things that Jesus will/has. Your name is right next to his in God's will. We won't need to go into probate or anything. It's all there. As someone said to me recently in a Bible Study when we were talking about this concept: we've got the same benefits package as Jesus. Wow!

In Christ,
Pastor Seth

Remember to join us for worship next Sunday at 8:30 and 11. It's Youth Sunday. Come and see what they've prepared for us.
