"We are...joint heirs with Christ." romans 8:16-17 NKJV
We share the same inheritance as Christ! Whatever He has, we have! "Our standing in the world is identical with Christ's" (1Jn 4:17 MSG). So, if we are co-heirs with Christ, why do we struggle through life? For two reasons: (1) We don't know about our inheritance. "The exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe" (Eph 1:19 NKJV). No one ever told us that instead of fighting for victory, we fight from a position of victory. If you have given your heart to Christ, He "has blessed [you] with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph 1:3 NKJV). Notice the word "has." You already possess everything you need to be everything God desires. You have access to "every spiritual blessing." That also means God will "equip you with all you need for doing his will" (Heb 13:21 NLT). (2) We don't believe in our inheritance. Imagine what would happen if a generation of Christians lived out of their inheritance. They would turn off internet porn. The lonely would find comfort in God, not in the arms of strangers. Struggling couples would spend more time in prayer and less time in anger. Children would consider it a blessing to take care of their aging parents. "God's power is very great for us who believe. That power is the same as the great strength God used to raise Christ from the dead" (Eph 1:19-20 NCV). The same indwelling Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will turn every one of your "I can't into an "I can." "I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength" (Php 4:13 NCV).
