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 with him. (Romans 8:17)
I am a Christian. I am the most blessed person! Our blessings exceed any lots of men in this world. First and foremost, on earth and in heaven, our heritage is God Himself. When we have God, we have everything, for He owns everything. That is why we have an endless reason to be grateful and to rejoice inside out. There is no inheritance without sonship. There is no sonship without spiritual birth. There is no spiritual birth without faith. There is no faith without the Gospel and there is no Gospel without Christ. Christ, upon His second coming will be manifested in His glorious appearance and not of flesh anymore. We will inherit that everlasting glory. So brethren, we must not be surprised if we also suffer like Jesus Christ and if we experience the stormy life of the early Victorious Christians. They counted it as nothing compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us. It is a glory that, even a minute, we should not barter against any glory that the fleshly world offers.
