"Most people think of the Beatitudes as a collection of idealistic sayings- beautiful to read but impossible to practice. How wrong they are! In fact, the entire Sermon on the Mount is a glorious explanation of what life is really like when you reign through the power of the Holy Spirit," says Warren Wiersbe. Why wait until we get to heaven to reign? Thanks to Jesus Christ we can do it in this life. This inspiring study of the Beatitudes shows how to reign over ego, power, and appetite. With the help of the Holy Spirit, the believer can live like a king.
From the Back Cover
"Those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness (will) reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17)
As a Christian, you have received God's gifts of grace and righteousness. You are an heir of the King, and you reign in this life. Yet many of us act like slaves--to our appetites, money, or material things--when we should be living as rulers.
Why aren't more of us reigning in life, then, and living like heirs of the King? Is it possible to regain control over the forces of evil and sin that oppose us and threaten to enslave us?
"You can," says author Warren Wiersbe, and inHeirs of the King,he explains that the key to reigning in life is found in the Beatitudes.
"Most people think of the Beatitudes as a collection of idealistic sayings, beautiful to read but impossible to practice. How wrong they are! In fact, the entire Sermon on the Mount is a glorious explanation of what life is really like when you reign through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Through this inspiring study of the Beatitudes, learn how to claim the victorious life that awaits you--right now--as an heir of the King.
