A Deposit of Power

"This may be the best kept secret in Christendom. Conversion is more than a removal of sin. It's a deposit of power! When you were born into Christ, you were placed in God's royal family. John 1:12 says, 'As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God.' You have access to all the family blessings.

"Surprised? You ain't heard nothin' yet! Paul described the value of your portfolio. 'The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and if children, then heirs--heir of God and join heirs with Chirst' (Romans 8:16-17).

"Whatever He has--we have! We were made for more than the wilderness. God saved you from Egypt so that He could bless you in the Promised Land. The gift has been given. Will you trust it? Don't measure your life by your ability; measure it by God's!"
