A royal inheritance, a wonderful invitation

Galatians 4:⁴ But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. ⁶ Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

What an amazing passage! The God who made us has provided a way for his creation (you and I) to become adopted, to be his sons and daughters. We are not only adopted, but we have his Spirit living in us to lead, teach, guide and grow us up. And, we can come to God not as creator, but as Father, as "Daddy." But there's more...now, because we are his children, we are his heirs as well! We get the inheritance of sons and daughters of the father. These things are astonishing to me....as a creature on planet earth, a fearful little creature, I am invited into relationship, sonship and heirship with the God who made me! Who wouldn't respond to that invitation? Who wouldn't want to be part of this grand plan of God?
