He seemed to think the police want to arrest him for his drug and alcohol habits, so he vanished without a trace. Like this homeless man, many people fail to realize that God has an inheritance for all who accept His Son. The Apostle Paul explains it in Galatians 4. “Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves are until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. We were like children–slaves to the basic principles of this world. But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.” Christians are heirs of God and joint heirs with His Son. There is no greater inheritance than that!
