The View

How do you see yourself? Are you honest with yourself or do you live a life of wishing you were someone else? If you’re a born again believer you are someone else. The old you is gone and dead. You are no longer a “slave”, but a son of the Most High God. And God does not just call you His son. He also calls you “an heir” through Christ. (Galatians 4:7) In fact, Romans 8:17 says that you are “joint heirs” with Christ. Do you see yourself as this “heir” or do you still see yourself as a slave to an old system? As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you inherit everything that He is. He removed you from the old system, so why do you still live under the old systems control? How precious Jesus is to the Father, is how precious you are to the Father. The way the Father loves Jesus, is the way the Father loves you! But you can’t receive this love under the old system. God wants you to hear that you are accepted, loved and removed from your old ways. Christ is the measure of your acceptance. How favored are you by God? Look at Jesus, who is seated at the Father’s right hand. You enjoy that same favor today because whatever Christ enjoys, you enjoy! Today we learn how to stop looking to the old system and embrace the new.
