New birth...New benefits
Being born into this world by natural parents provides some benefits that you soon come to realize as you mature
with the family to which you belong. Depending on the health or perhaps the wealth of your parents will determine
how small or great the benefits are.
Becoming Born again into the family of God provides a very wide and eternal array of benefits that are far greater thanany natural parent could provide. You may have heard the saying, " God ownes the cattle on a thousand hills." That is a scripture in the bible, yet I believe that we have yet to grasp the real meaning of it, or how great the benefits of belonging to God really are. Here are some scriptures from the Bible that speak of the inheritance that is ours through the new birth.
Ephesians 1:18 "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saint."
I Peter 1:3-5 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."
Colossians 1:11-13 "being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves."
Ephesians 5:4-6 "Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient."
Consequently, their are good rewards for obedience to God, and not so good rewards for disobedience to God.
If you have not yet decided to take part in the greatest chapter in the history of the world since creation, it is time for you to seriously consider the calling of the Lord of Glory on your life, to make you a partaker of the activity of the coming of the Kingdom of God on the earth. It is your response to Him that will determine your eternal future.
