Remember That You Are a King's Son

When a young prince asked a certain philosopher to give him a directory for his conduct, all his instructions were comprised in one sentence: "Remember that you are a king's son!"


All Christians are advanced to spiritual honors of the most exalted kind. They are the children of God, and heirs of the eternal kingdom and ought to resemble their heavenly Father, who is the God of holiness. Their dignity obliges them to a behavior worthy of it, and of Him whose grace has conferred it.


Let Christians remember who they are, and how they came to be what they are and act in befitting character!

1 Peter 1:14-16 ... As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.


Romans 8:17 ... And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.


Titus 3:7 ... That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.❤
