Joint Heirs with Jesus Romans 8(16-17) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.Slide2
Why is being an Heir Important ?Premise: Why talk about gifts and His Kingdom? Why pursue Heaven upon the earth? Is it important for us today? If we believe God’s Word, that we are a royal priesthood, a new race, a new creation and are
referred to as His Body upon the earth, from a Biblical covenantal perspective,
the answer in an emphatic YES! Jesus is the Light of the world. He has spoken to us as New Covenant Believers
and we
are now the Light of the world commissioned to reveal
God’s Kingdom
.
God,
as the Father of
Lights,
has given us every good and perfect gift. We have been given as His Body
through
Grace these gifts in
Jesus. We are
His co-heirs,
and have the
privilege and the mandate through
His perfect
love to express
this as witness’s of
God as Father to the world.

"The Word of the LORD"
Gen 15(1-6) 1 after these things the* word of the LORD
came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; your reward shall be very great.
”
2
Abram said, “O Lord GOD, what will You give me, since
I am childless
, and the heir of my house is
Eliezer of Damascus?”
3
And Abram said, “Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir.”
4
Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir;
but one who will come forth
from your own body, he shall be your heir.”
5
And He took him outside and said; “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
6
Then
he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. (New Covenant faith)
*
First time this phrase is used in the
Bible
John 1(1&14) "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God,
the Word was God. And the Word became flesh
, and
dwelt
among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of
the
only begotten from the Father, full of grace and
truth.''Slide4
We are the Body of Christ and Heirsto the Kingdom of the Father’s LoveEphesians 4(15-16) but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects
into Him who is the head, even Christ,
16
from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the
proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

We are heirs of the
one new man
in
the Common
Wealth
of Spiritual Israel
Ephesians 2 (11-18) Therefore remember that formerly
you, the Gentiles
in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,”
which is
performed in the flesh by human hands—
12
remember
that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world
.
13
But now in Christ Jesus, you who formerly were far off have, been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14
For He Himself is our peace, who made both
groups into
one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
15
by abolishing in His flesh the enmity,
which is
the Law of commandments
contained
in ordinances,
so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man,
thus
establishing peace
,
16
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
17
AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;
18
for
through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. Slide6
Joint Heirs –Co Reign 1Kings 8(15-16) 15 Then he said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said,(GOD) 16.Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built for my Name to be there, but I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.'
Matt 1 (1) The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David
, the son of Abraham:
Luke 22 (29) and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom,
I grant
you ( Abrahamic Grant Covenant)Slide7
As Heirs we are a New Race of God's Covenant people 1 Peter 2(9) But you are A CHOSEN RACE,
A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellences of Him who has called you out of darkness into His *marvelous light;
*Jesus is the light and we are now responsible as Joint heirs to express the excellences of
*Him.
( *The
Father who has called
you.)
2 Cor. 5(17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ,
he is
a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.Slide8
As Joint-Heirs we are Positioned for Promise by Grace through Faith
Romans 4(13-16)
for
the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith
.
14
For if those who are of the Law are heirs,
faith is made void and the promise is nullified;
15
for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation
.
16
For this reason
it is
by faith
, in order that
it may be
in accordance with grace, so that
the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to
those
who
are of the Law, (Old Covenant) but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham
, (
New Covenant
)
who is
the father of us all,
Note : Joint Heir ship only applies to the "
One New Man
"Slide9
"As He is, so also are we in this world" 1Jn 4:17b Joint Heirs with Jesus is a privilege and holds the responsibility to practice "sonship." through our Co-Reigning
with HimThe ''Word of the Lord "
manifesting in "flesh
" is the protégé of our assignment and destiny as Joint Heirs with Jesus.
Our connection
to the head
is what releases the inheritance of joint heir ship to the Body, the Church.
Identity as a
new race
of God's Covenant people is essential for understanding the
New Covenant.
Grace
through Faith
is how we are positioned for all the Promises of God that are yes and amen in Jesus.
This is the foundation of understanding our Joint Heir ship –with the King Amen..
