Adopted as son's

Galatians 4:3-7

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

"You are no longer a slave, but a son;” – and here it comes – “if a son, if a son, then an heir through God.”

“The point of adoption was to give the estate to that adopted son. It was that he would be the heir through God, dia, by the immediate agency of God. God is choosing an heir.

Think of your salvation that way. He chose you before the foundation of the world to be an heir of everything that He possesses. This is the magnanimous nature of the grace and love of God. This is astonishing, astonishing.

The kind of foolish trivia that you hear from people who preach the quote-unquote “prosperity gospel,” about the fact that Jesus wants you to have a new car, a new house. Apart from being a lie is worthless dirt compared to inheriting everything that God possesses in the glory of His eternal kingdom and presence. What do I care what kind of car I drive.

What do I care about anything in this world compared to the glory that is before me."
