THE FULL INHERITANCE FOR THE SONS OF GOD

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (1Pe 1:3)

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (1Pe 1:4)

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1Pe 1:5)

There is a reserved inheritance To be experienced in this life For those who are kept by the power of God We need God’s keeping power in this world of sin Through faith – faith is for this life

THIS IS A WORK OF GOD But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (Joh 1:12) A divine work of God Sons – HUIOS – A full mature son The inheritance is only given to the sons Faith is essential – even to them that believe

To be revealed in the last time Not for previous generations Reserved means to hold in store We are living in the last days The Church was birthed in power – Acts 2 God will manifest His power in these last days

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luk 21:28)

This is an end-time passage And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? (Luk 21:7) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Mat 24:3)

These are parallel texts What things that begin to come to pass will signify the coming redemption? The end-time signs described in these passages Draweth nigh or near – this means it has not come as of yet

REDEMPTION This is the fullest meaning of the word A total buying back, a complete state of release This is an end-time release The inheritance to be revealed in the last time

ADOPTION Huiothesia – the placing of a son This word has nothing to do with adopting a baby By definition only the Huios – the mature sons are placed Not for the child

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; (Gal 4:1) But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. (Gal 4:2) The Father places the sons into their inheritance A supernatural work of God Power to become the sons of God

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Rom 8:19) To manifest – to show forth or reveal Inheritance to be revealed in the last time

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (Rom 8:20) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Rom 8:21)

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. (Rom 8:22)

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Rom 8:23)

The adoption which is the redemption of our body Waiting for the adoption This tells us if they were waiting for it then they had not yet received it Remember Adoption is the placing of the Sons

Those that had the firstfruits of the Spirit were still waiting This is the same word for redemption used in Luke 21 Apolutrosis – A complete state of release Waiting until an appointed time To be revealed in the last time

Groaning and travailing in pain The pain of a woman in childbirth Produced through prayer The Spirit intercedes through us with groanings which can not be uttered
