The sonnet, titled “The Inestimable Gift of Standing as Royal Heirs of the King of Kings”, celebrates the extraordinary privilege of being born again as joint heirs with Jesus Christ, as affirmed in Romans 8:17: “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” The poem marvels at the grace that frees believers from sin, transforming them into royal sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This divine gift, so vast and inestimable that it defies comprehension, elevates the redeemed to a status of royal kinship, robed in splendor and destined for the throne of grace. The sonnet underscores the rarity and honor of bearing Christ’s name, a birthright mortals can scarcely fathom, culminating in the triumphant image of standing as heirs, enthroned in victory’s sound—a reflection of the eternal glory promised to those who share in Christ’s inheritance.

Do we perceive the grace that crowns our days,
To be reborn, from sin’s dark chains set free,
Joint heirs with Christ, in glory’s boundless rays,
A royal kin to heaven’s majesty?
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords supreme,
Bestows a gift no mortal mind can hold,
A blessing vast, beyond our wildest dream,
Inestimable wealth in love retold.
Sons, daughters, robed in splendor not our own,
We bear His name, a privilege so rare,
The throne of grace becomes our destined home,
A royal birthright mortals scarce can bear.
Such honor floods the soul with awe unbound,
To stand as heirs, enthroned in victory’s sound.
