<strong>Bathsheba</strong> – <strong>Day</strong> 1, Page 2<br />

Further:<br />

Just as we are recipients of a family inheritance, whether good or bad, whether material<br />

goods, values, or the legacy of faith, when we receive Christ we actually receive an<br />

eternal inheritance from God as his dearly loved children!<br />

6. Read Romans 8:12-17. What are those led by the Spirit of God called(v.14)?<br />

And what do they receive instead of the spirit of fear?<br />

The underlying word for sonship is “adoption”. Abba, Aramaic for Father, speaks of an<br />

especially close relationship to God. As God’s children, what also do we now become?<br />

7. Ephesians 1:4-8 speaks further on our adoption as believers. What means the most<br />

to you in these tender verses?<br />

8. In Galatians 3:26-29 who are included as sons of God?<br />

In verse 29, what is said of those who belong to Christ?<br />

9. Read Matthew 25:31-34. An inheritance speaks of something to be received in the<br />

future. What is this inheritance that we will receive?<br />

10. Read Ephesians 1:13-14. Until that time, what has God done and what does it<br />

guarantee?<br />

11. If we know that we are to receive an inheritance from our family, we are no doubt<br />

curious about what that will include! What can we learn about our eternal inheritance<br />

from these verses:<br />

1 Corinthians 2:9<br />

2 Corinthians 5:1-4<br />

Philippians 3:20<br />

2 Timothy 4:18<br />

James 2:5<br />

1 Peter 1:3-5<br />

12. With the promised inheritance, how are we to live our lives in the here and now?<br />

Colossians 1:9-14<br />

Colossians 3:23-24<br />

I Peter 3:8-9<br />

13. Who was the person who shared the gospel with you? As a result, who<br />

are the people you’ve been able to impact for the kingdom of God?<br />

14. Who are you still praying to impact for eternity by sharing this great inheritance that<br />

Jesus has in store for them?<br />

According to Jesus’ words in John 13:34-35, what will make the most powerful impact on<br />

those around us?<br />

Pray and ask God to invade your life with his love<br />

and to use you to pass down this great legacy of faith in Christ!
