We Will All Be Children of God

Read - Romans 8:16-17; Galatians: 4:6-7


Here are a few questions for you to think about prior to reading today’s devotion. Once in Heaven will I still know my kids and spouse? If my spouse dies and I remarry, which spouse will I belong to in Heaven? Will I even know my family once I am in Heaven? I have heard questions like these along the years and have often wondered myself about some of them, but one day God just hit me with the answer. After that day it became as clear to me, what the answers to all of these questions are, as a glass of purified water.


So, what are the answers to these questions? As you have already read in the scripture reference, you see that once you are saved you become an heir of God. An heir of God, how awesome is that! You are not a slave or a servant, but an heir, which simply means you are a child of God.

Now, what does all of this have to do with the questions, I had you ponder over before reading this. It is simple, as we relate here on earth to each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, that is exactly what we are, and once we are all in Heaven we are still brothers and sisters. It is kind of a wait a minute moment, but yes, no matter what relationship status we had here on earth, once in Heaven we are all joint heirs with Christ and are all brothers and sisters.

I believe the only question left to answer is, “Will I even know my family once I am in Heaven?” I am going to say yes, but not in the way we know them now. I believe that we will all know each other because we will all be family, brothers and sisters, in Heaven. I also, believe that, even though we know each other, it will be in a totally different way of how we know each other.

So to sum it all up, when you are saved by the Grace of God you become a joint heir with Jesus Christ. This means when we all get to Heaven, we will all be brothers and sisters in one big family with God as our Father to us all. Yes, we will know each other in Heaven as brothers and sisters living in total peace and harmony worshiping God, our Father, for delivering us from eternal damnation and being the wonderful gracious Father He is.
