You Are Abundantly Blessed In The Lord Jesus Christ!

Romans 8:17 — joint heirs with Christ. He uncrowned Himself so we could be crowned, and shares His throne, glory, and heritage with all who overcome by His blood.

"…joint heirs with Christ…" — Romans 8:17

Jesus Christ is the Heir of all things, the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God. By His love and grace, He has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of the joint-heirship the Lord has released to His people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, and the unutterable glory have all been released by our God to be our everlasting possession.

All that Christ has, He shares with His people who put their faith and trust in Him and live to please Him. Jesus uncrowned Himself so that we could have the coronation of glory. He would not sit on His throne until He had secured places in it for all who overcome by His blood (Revelation 12:11).

Christ's throne, crown, palace, treasures, robes, and heritage are yours in Him. He has given us all His glory (John 17:22) and filled us with His blessings. The smiles of His Father are sweeter to Him because His believers share them; the honor of His kingdom is more pleasing because all His people appear with Him in glory. He delights in His throne because there is a place in it for all who believe.

May you be a true believer in the Lord Jesus, and be blessed in Him forever. Amen!
