"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?”

The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ #2
1Jo 1:1-10. The context is His message. The purpose of 1 John is fellowship: primary purpose - abundant life; secondary purpose - salvation. 3 cleansings: once for all at salvation; obedience to His Word; confession.

From Series: "1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007"
This series details John's description of our being 'in Him' - abiding in Christ. This contrasts Paul's use of the phrase expressing positional truth. The key verse is 1Jo 2:6 'He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.' The series opens many truths in 1st John while covering the entire epistle.
