Inheritor with Christ
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Not to flesh are we debtors,
According to the flesh we live;
Slaves to sin having fetters,
God has a key to forgive.
Live by the flesh and you die,
But His Spirit assures life;
When the darkness you defy,
Coping with tempting strife.
Those as led by His Spirit,
Are also the sons of God;
Assured what they inherit,
If they will honor and laud.
No spirit of slavery,
If you truly do believe;
With spiritual bravery,
From His Spirit you receive.
The Spirit of adoption,
Being sons and daughters;
For receiving salvation,
Through the baptismal waters.
You can cry Abba! Father!
As His Spirit bears witness;
Making Christ as your Brother,
Enables you to confess.
As His children, you are heirs,
Being fellow heirs with Christ;
Glorification He shares,
What Jesus was sacrificed.
