Better than the Fortune 500

Lona Ingwerson

Did you know that you are heir to an incredible fortune?
It’s documented in Romans 8,
in case you need proof.
It reads that we are
“heirs of God,
and joint-heirs with Christ.”¹
Heirs to what?
Wow!
To what not!
In other words, to everything—all good!
Check out Genesis 1 for the details:
You’re the image, the likeness of God—
you can’t do better than that!
God created you,
maintains you,
and has given you dominion.
You inherited
all good,
all substance,
security,
guidance,
love,

your spirituality,
your perfection;
you don’t have to earn them.

They’re yours to claim . . .
so go claim them!

1 Romans 8:17
