“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
Romans 8:17 KJV
Paul’s revelation to the Church by the Holy Spirit brings us hope which is the confident expectation of God’s amazing goodness to us. We become the children of God when we believe in and receive the Lord Jesus Christ in us, and then are led by the Holy Spirit. Only through the Holy Spirit do we call God our Father. Since we are His true children, we qualify to share all His treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God Himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own. This is the power of the Gospel of Christ to the salvation of all who believe. Let’s not be ashamed to declare this glorious Gospel which has made us joint heirs with Christ by faith in the finished work of the Cross. Hallelujah!
