18.3 To be United with the Lord and Become the Firstborn Treasures for the Soul
-
- Christianity
Brothers and sisters, today’s topic for Treasures for the Soul is To be united with the Lord and become the Firstborn. Romans 8:14-17 says that we are led by the Spirit of God. What we received was no longer the spirit of slavery, but the Spirit of adoption as sons. And so we can cry naturally, “Abba! Father!” We’ve all become heirs of God, and fellow heirs with Christ. Romans 8:28-29 mentions that God causes all things to work together for good, and it also tells us that the Lord is the firstborn among many brothers. He is the firstborn of the firstborn, and we are the assembly of the firstborn. Not only are we conformed to the Lord’s image, we also receive special blessings that are tremendous.
