"Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of 
God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in 
His sufferings in order that we may also share in 
His glory." Romans 8:17

This is the especial blessedness of being a child of God:
that death, which puts a final extinguisher on all the 
hopes and happiness of all the unregenerate—gives him 
the fulfilment of all his hopes and the consummation 
of all his happiness—for it places him in possession of 
"an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that 
fades not away, reserved in heaven." 

In this present earthly life, we have sometimes sips 
and tastes of son-ship, feeble indeed and interrupted;
yet are they so far pledges of an inheritance to come. 

But this life is only an introduction to a better. In this 
life we are but children—but in the life to come, we shall 
be put into full possession of the eternal inheritance. 

And what is this? Nothing less than God Himself. 
"Heirs of God!" says the Apostle. God Himself is 
the inheritance of His people—yes, He Himself in 
all His glorious perfections . . .
all the love of God,
all the goodness of God,
all the holiness of God,
all His happiness, bliss, and blessedness,
all His might, majesty, and glory, in
all the blaze of one eternal, unclouded day!

This is the saint's inheritance!

Let us press on by faith and prayer to 
win this eternal and glorious crown!
