Identity theft isn’t new. According to Romans 8:16 we are God’s children and co-heirs with Christ to the treasures of God’s Kingdom. Since Eden Satan has been extraordinarily active in pursuit of God’s children. He hates the fact that we are going to inherit something he used to have and stupidly threw away. He wants us to be as miserable as he. He is more than a Grinch. He makes the Grinch look angelic. This person is evil through and through. Stealing your identity as a child of God is one of the few joys he has.
I love being a child of God. It comes with a host of benefits. We are reborn with a silver spoon in our mouths. The wisdom of the universe becomes available without a library card. Health care, including psychiatric care, is available with no co-pay. Fear for the future dissipates as we grow to realize our Father is in control. Guilt over our mistakes and overt misbehavior is lavishly washed away. The stars are no longer decorations of the night but future travel locations. We will hobnob with Biblical greats, galactic ambassadors, intellectual giants, and creatures beautiful and witty. I realize at this point I sound like a promoter for Star Trek but far from it. There are no Klingons on the other side of a neutral zone. There is no neutral zone. All will be ours as children of the King.
Our identity as part of heaven’s royalty is our most prized possession. Don’t leave home without it.
