“They Were in One, the Children of Christ and Heirs to the Kingdom of God”
The children of Christ are those who have come out of the world, who have left the loneliness and estrangement of a fallen creation and entered the realm of divine experience. They have forsaken the orphanage of spiritual alienation and been received into the family and household of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have left the ranks of the nameless and taken upon them the blessed name of Jesus Christ. They are Christians. Through their Master they become in time joint heirs to all that the Father has.
