  Heirs of God Posted:  Aug 24,  2003,  5: 49 PM As Christians have been accused of arrogance time and again for claiming to have the truth,  I have decided to give a response and in doing so bear the sum of the accusations of arrogance made against my Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus.
 Christianity is the most influential,  far reaching,  history altering,  world shaping " religion"  to ever exist.
 It has spawned some of the greatest artistic works ( i. e.  writings,  paintings,  music,
 etc.  the world has ever seen.  It has raised and thrown down countless kingdoms and rulers,  and overthrown countless rival religions and ideologies.  It's prophecies,  both aged and modern,
 are without error which any unbiased examination will show,  and is more " verifiable"  or readily " proven"  than any other faith.
 No attempt to overthrow Christianity as the dominant world religion has ever worked while many have tried.  Christianity stands alone,  without peer,  towering over all other faiths.  As for Christians as individuals,  take note;
 Christians are Children of God,  Heirs also,  and fellow heirs with Christ.  In God,  our Father and creator of all,  we live,
 move,  and exist.  We are light in the Lord,  children of light,  and imitators of God as His beloved children.  we are born of God and will be like Christ when He appears.
 We shall see God,  be called sons of God,  and ours shall be the kingdom of Heaven.  We are sons of God through our faith in christ Jesus and have been clotheed with Christ whose spirit we have in our hearts.  We were predestined to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to God our Father,  and will be brought to glory.
 We are counted as CHILDREN,  HEIRS,  and SONS of God,  not slaves promised only fruit and virgins for submission and alms.  From Our Father through Christ Jesus,  ours is the kingdom of Heaven.
 Furthermore we are promised through our faith and obedience To eat of the tree of life ( immortality)  Not hurt by the 2nd death Hidden Manna ( secret knowledge)  and a white stone ( innocence)
 with a new name ( as we will be a completed new creation)  Authority over the nations ( as Our Father gave to his only Begotten)  and the morning star White garments ( purity)
 our name in His book,  and confession of our name Be made a pillar in the temple of God with the name of God,  name of Gods city,  and Jesus new name inscribed and last but not least,  the right to sit with Him on His throne Many will scoff,  be vulgar,
 degrade and run down both what I have said and my Brothers and Sisters but that does not and will not change what quite simply is.  I do not boast about myself,  but about my Father and my Lord and what has been done for me and my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.  We are the elect,  the chosen,  and the predestined Children of God,
 and so may you all be through Christ Jesus alone for whose name we are hated.  Accept Him and become one with us though Him.  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with Gods people.  Amen.
