A PRACTICAL SPIRITUAL HERITAGE

MARION MAC CANN

There have been instances when someone who has been traveling extensively in far lands and out of communication with home has returned to find that an inheritance has long awaited him. Although this bequest belongs to him legally, it is not practically his own until he claims it. And before he can have access to it he must be properly identified. Only when he has claimed and received the bequest can he be said to be in actual possession of it. When he has put some of it to use, especially when he has shared it generously and wisely, he gains a firm conviction that his inheritance is a fact.

Such a situation, illustrates faintly the general unawareness of mankind to the spiritual inheritance that belongs to them and that, by recognition, acceptance, and proof, they may claim and find to be of superlative value.

The Apostle Paul tells us (Rom. 8:16,17), "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ."
