"Heirs of the Kingdom" have privilege, responsibility, and accountability (Mar 13:33–37). "Heirs" is a term that deals with discipleship, not justification/salvation. As we shall see, every child of God is an heir. The question before us is this: How much will I inherit, and will it really matter that much? Every member of the Royal Family has a share in the Royal Inheritance. Again, the question of our study is, “how much?”

In his epistle, John comments on Joh 13:34-45 -- the new commandment: (1) love perfected in us ( 1Jo 2:5-6). (2) Love is real in Him and in you (1Jo 2:7:10). (3) "In Him" with John means abide in Christ. Love perfected is the "stigmata" or mark of Christ (1Jo 3:10-12). (4) Love is manifested of Christ in our life (1Jo 3:16-17). (5) Manifest to the world (1Jo 4:12-13). (6) Love gives us boldness at the Judgment seat (1Jo 2:28, 1Jo 4:17-19). (7) Love will lead us to be intercessors for others (1Jo 5:14-15). Keeping His commands by the Holy Spirit (Joh 14:15-21). You cannot separate the work of the Spirit without scripture. Spirit is teacher (Joh 14:26-27); Spirit is witness (Joh 15:26-27, Joh 16:7-11). It's our advantage to have the Spirit as our guide (Joh 16:12-16).
