“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24 KJV
The entrance into the glorious heritage of the believer is when you give your life to Christ. Giving your life to Christ is the gateway. You cannot come in through the window neither can you gate-crash. The precious blood of Jesus has been shed for you, therefore, walk in through the blood. So, you see, you cannot access the heritage of a believer when you are not yet a believer. Only those who have entered can access the heritage and the entrance is salvation.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3 KJV). There is an inheritance for every man. But you can only access your inheritance through Christ. There is no other way. Only Jesus can release you from the bondage of labouring without result. The greatest miracle is the miracle of salvation. Everyone needs salvation but no matter how much you try; you cannot save yourself. Only Jesus can save you! Every minute that tick moves us closer to eternity. There is no future for anyone who does not have Christ.
Stop struggling! There is no life without Jesus. I thought that I had swagger until I met Jesus. It was when I met Jesus that I knew what real swagger was. When you come to Jesus, everything about you changes. Every sin in your life is forgiven and the power of darkness over your life is broken forever. It is as simple as that. That is why people don’t understand it. Once you receive Christ into your heart by faith, God has cancelled all your past mistakes and opened a brand-new life and you know what? He does not even remember your past any more. So, you have the right to go to Him as a son and ask Him for whatever you desire.
