You're About To Inherit It All #1 of 2

February 10, 2010
How would you react if a lawyer called, saying you'd just inherited a million dollars from a distant relative? Disbelief? Sure, but later, reality would sink in when the check was placed in your shaking hands. Well, if you're a believer, you have a check waiting for you at the bank of heaven. And it's for far more than a mere million.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Those who believe in Jesus and have found new life all share a common reality; they were chosen by God in eternity past. Before they were born, God knew they would share in His eternal kingdom. This would involve forgiving their sins and declaring them to be as righteous as His Son. If life now seems uncertain, know this: your future is as secure as the God who will make sure you get there.

These days, seeker-friendly churches are everywhere. We assume people will seek God, if we make them comfortable. As a believer matures in the faith, he or she comes to realize that salvation is not so much a result of our seeking God as it is the result of God choosing us first. If God had not done this, none of us would ever have chosen Him.

Some people face adversity with a dour disposition. "What next?" they say. Such people don't see a larger Hand at work. The hand of God moves in the lives of His people to bring about good even when what's happening is bad. Through the eye of faith, we who know Him can be sure that a better day is coming, and we can live triumphantly no matter what comes our way.

Some call them delusional. They gaze in wonder at believers who accept even tragedy as part of a greater good. Only a Christian can be certain that all of life is heading toward a future glory. That's why a believer can know that all things, even the bad things, work together for good for those who love God. For a challenging message on a famous Bible verse.

When the economy worsens, many people find themselves suffering for the first time. No job, foreclosure, and fear for the future. Christians get socked by life's reversals like anyone else. But there is a crucial difference. The believer knows he or she has a permanent home where no foreclosure is possible and where all suffering will end. This is why we never groan alone when experiencing trials.

The rain falls on the just and the unjust. As humans, none of us escapes times of pain, sorrow, or deprivation. It's tough to be optimistic when slogging through life's tough times. Some people try to grin and bear it; others crack under the pressure. Christians can have a different perspective as we look toward a future glory that makes our present suffering infinitesimal in comparison.

The Bible says, "Eye hath not seen the things God has prepared for those that love Him." Think life is tough for you? Just wait. Think people treat you poorly? Just wait. Think you've always gotten the short end of life's stick? Just wait. As a member of the body of Christ, your inheritance is earning interest right now in the bank of heaven. One day you will make a withdrawal.

How would you feel if you got a letter saying that an unknown benefactor had died, leaving you ten million dollars? You check, and find you're an heir to a fortune, and didn't know it. An heir...that's exactly what you are as a child of God. In the book of Romans, we read: "The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs...joint heirs with Christ."

Most people are stuck in a rut, trying to satisfy themselves with things that only make finding satisfaction more elusive. But the believer in Christ has a whole new life, a life with new desires: desires that God satisfies deeply as we walk in His light. Today: more reasons why Christians are indeed "Children of an Awesome God."

The economy might soon tank...stocks might plummet...foreclosures might rise. So where is your security found? If you know Christ as savior, your bank deposits are safe...really safe, where "moth and rust cannot corrupt." That bank is not of this world, and, as a child of God, neither are you. Today: a look into a Bible chapter listing more blessings than we can ever fathom.
