"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?”Gene Cunningham - February 21, 2000
The Amazing Race 2
The race is won based on our relationship with God by faith (Heb 12:1-3, Jam 1:2). Faith works in us (1Th 2:13). Endurance is paramount in Christian life (Jam 5:7-11, Act 14:22). James directs our attention to Job's endurance. Outline of James can be found in Jam 1:19. Believers admonitions similar to Heb 1(Jam 1:21-22).
Scripture References: James 1:19, Acts 14:22, James 5:7-11, James 1:2, Hebrews 12:1-3, James 1:21-22
From Series: "The Amazing Race"
Heb 12:1-3 says we're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ.
