-- Psalm 122:1

The Daily Light

If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint‑heirs with Christ.
  • If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
  • Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. -- Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. -- Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.
  • Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me.
  • He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him I will give power over the nations. -- To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
