Romans 5:13 says "It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith." What was this promise? To be heir of the world? You see the world was being run by the wrong guy, it seemed like Satan was running the show, but when Jesus died he announced that He had taken the authority back. Then Jesus goes up to heaven and sends the Holy Spirit to us and makes us his joint heir. Well that's good news, and so according to this scripture, we are to be heirs of this world. The world itself is a kingdom, and God wants his children to lead by loving and serving others, by laying down our lives. Now not all leaders are trying to do what's right, but God is changing us from the inside out, purifying us so that we might be just leaders and help partner with him to clean things up around here. God said in Deut 28: He wants us to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. Yeah, that's right God said that. Are you up for it? Yeah, me too.
