Bad Children Will Inherit Nothing

Those who believe in Jesus Christ have the hope of becoming children of God and inheriting eternal life and the kingdom of God. Becoming sons of God makes them part of the inheritance of the kingdom of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,” But it is required of us as children of God, to be faithful over the house of God, the kingdom of God, that of which we have become a part.

If we become children of God we become part of the household of God and we must be faithful to our Father just as Jesus Christ our Lord Himself was faithful to the Father who appointed Him, we have to be faithful.

We read in Hebrews 3:1 “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. 2HE WAS FAITHFUL TO HIM WHO APPOINTED HIM,” and verse 6 “but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, IF we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.” It is required of us that we be faithful children of God, faithful ambassadors of the kingdom of God.

You cannot be a part time servant of the kingdom of God. You are either full time or you are not a child of God. YOU ARE EITHER A CHILD OF GOD OR YOU ARE NOT, you are just a fake! As a child of God we need to work as servants. Many believers don't want to serve. They say:”I am a child, I don't work!” In the house of God you WORK LIKE A SLAVE, LIKE A SERVANT, if you are a child.

Paul wrote in Galatians 4:1 “Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything.” So as a child he works exactly the same as a servant and he proves himself to be faithful over his Father's house. The prodigal son who squanders his Father's property WILL NOT HAVE AN INHERITANCE. It is only the one who faithfully serves his father and who builds his Father's house who will have an inheritance. If we are children of God then we build the Kingdom of God every day. We witness for Jesus every day, we wear the brand.

Many people give up! They wear a Jesus t-shirt one day or so and then they say:”Well people are not listening, people are not taking notice.” YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE! If you are a child of God you are a child of God all the time, you are not a child of God to impress people. You are a child of God because you are faithful to your Father and you sow seed every day because you are looking after your inheritance. If we are not faithful in witnessing for the Lord every day, we are not children of God! It is not another person's job to do it, it is not the preacher's job to do it. If you are a child of God you are a full time representative of the kingdom of God and if you do not represent the kingdom of God and you do not build the kingdom of God then you are not a faithful son and YOU WILL HAVE NO PART IN THE INHERITANCE and you will be thrown out where there will be whining and gnashing of teeth.

We need to be faithful sons of God. Are we faithful? Are you a faithful child of God? Are you looking after your Father's house? Are you a faithful witness for the kingdom of God? If not, then we will not have any inheritance. We need to prove ourselves to be faithful children of God, faithful over His house if we want to have part in that inheritance.
