Adoption, Not Material Wealth - Ephesians 1: 4-5
MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2012

Beloved,

Unfortunately, many in modern faith life have either expressed or inadvertently made adoption about the inheritance of wealth. What the believer receives as an inheritance from God goes far beyond any streets of gold or mansions on hilltops. Paul says, “as sons through Jesus Christ,” meaning that the believer’s position before God is one of close personal intimacy; the believer does not just know about God, he knows God and God knows him. The core truth here is that God has given to His children the very best He has; a personal relationship! Nothing else that the human mind can conjure even compares. Might heaven be a marvelous and glorious place? Certainly so, but the marvel, glory, majesty and beauty are only possible because God’s presence pervades every quarter; in fact, take away God and heaven is an empty and destitute wasteland. What adoption truly means is that all God has to give His children is theirs and that all is Himself. The finest of pure gold cannot compare to the purity and holiness of God. Any dwelling place cannot contain the infinite presence of Jehovah God who creates all things and the finest that temporal life can offer pales to the majesty of the risen Lamb! The inheritance of adoption is not material, it eternal.
