"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 13, 2000
Cross to the Crown #1
One Mission. Crown of Righteousness (2Ti 4:8) -- longing for His appearing. Mat 16:18 "I will build my Church" -- Joh 4:24. (1) Our mission (Mat 28:18-20) is "make disciples". Comes from authority of Jesus Christ which has been delegated. (2) Our method -- go, baptize. and teach. We keep the faith by spreading it (2Ti 4:7). (3) Mystery -- "Behold I am with you always" for the purpose of fellowship with Him and one another.
