Sonship benefit #1: Being an heir — equal inheritance in the kingdom
Mike begins listing what Paul specifically says sonship status means.
First benefit: all sons are heirs with a genuine equal inheritance in all of creation and the kingdom of heaven. Galatians 3:29: 'If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise.' We inherit the spiritual promises and the future inheritance of the new creation. A daughter's inheritance in ancient culture was different and connected to her husband, but in Christ all are full heirs.
