“Heir Force”
March 18th, 2015
Romans 8:1-17
I will never think of either the word “heir” or “air” the same again. That is because one year my younger sister’s Bible quizzing team called themselves “Heir Force.” They had it all: camouflage t-shirts and a marching cadence to yell through the hallways. They were cute kids with a winning record.
Despite my mental chuckle, we do have incredible force behind the claim of “heirs with Christ.” Heaven and earth belong to Him. Angel armies march at His command. Demons tremble in fear at His Name. However, with the great power also comes great responsibility and suffering. Christ died for the sins of this world, and he calls us to take up our cross and follow Him (Matt. 16:24). We must share in His sufferings to share in His glory.
The power of Romans 8 should not be missed. By the Spirit we are God’s children (vv. 14-15). He will help us live every day free from slavery to sin (vv. 1-13), and we have a great inheritance in Him (v. 17). We should not forget our place in the ranks of the “Heir Force.”

“We must share in His sufferings to share in His glory.”
This line, it spoke to me in more ways than I can express with words. This is my first visit to this site, and I was sent here by a friend, whose guidance I sought out last night. This was a perfect way to start repairing my connection with God. Thank you.
