Romans 8 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

When my dad passed away, I fulfilled the duty of executor of his estate. I distributed to my brother and two sisters the financial nest egg dad had accumulated. I remember him saying, “It’s not mine any longer, it’s yours. He was focused upon leaving to us as much as he could. Thank the Lord, it has given us more financial security for our future.

It does stimulate in my mind how I can be a similar blessing to my children.

Through Christ, you and I are co-inheritors of EVERYTHING God is giving to Jesus. We primarily rejoice that through Christ we receive the eternal life with the Father in Heaven. Everything in Heaven will make us forget all about the lowly riches of this life. I have heard that there are colors and musical chords in Heaven we’ve never seen or heard. Maybe that’s a good reason NOT to get amped up about earthly riches.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [1 Cor. 2:9]

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [Col. 3:1,2]
