The Messiah owns it all and he makes his followers "joint heirs" with himself (Colossians 1:15-20; 3:24; Galatians 4:7; Romans 8:17).
"Who was appointed heir of all things,
Wasn't He born the King of Kings?
So, what of the Father's is left for me,
When I have rejected the Son's deity?
What was my neglect that caused this loss,
His sin and trespass offering on the cross?
What must I do to inherit eternal life,
When now I inherit ruin and strife?"
"Pay close attention to the Son's salvation,
His sacrifice delivers from condemnation.
The Son has paid it all on behalf of all,
So, the Father has bestowed His windfall.
Faith in the Son secures transformation,
From slave-to-sin to joint-heir relation.
Only by faith in the Son can you inherit,
But never by relying on your own merit.
Then an inheritance in the Son is reserved for you,
Protected by God until your sojourn is through.
Trust Me when I say, 'There is no other way.'"
