But it is far beyond what we are capable of that we should be called heirs not of some rich and mighty prince, or the emperor of the world, but of God, the almighty Creator of all things. This inheritance of ours, then, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 9:15, is indescribable. And if we could comprehend the excellence of being sons and heirs of God and believe it with a constant faith, we would regard all the power and riches of all the kingdoms of the world as filthy garbage in comparison with our eternal inheritance. We would abhor whatever is high and glorious in the world; indeed, the greater the pomp and glory of the world, the more we would hate it. For what is all the world, with all its power, riches, and glory, in comparison with God, whose sons and heirs we are?
