A Christian life is a journey of pressing forward. It's a walk that involves striving and, at times, suffering, all while we move toward the ultimate goal of being with Christ.
Heirs Through Suffering
"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children." This isn't just a title; it's a promise of inheritance. As children, we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. But this glorious inheritance comes with a condition: we must be willing to share in His sufferings. Only then can we also share in His glory.
This path is not an easy one. Yet, we are not left to walk it alone. God is actively calling us to Himself, empowering us, and walking with us every step of the way. He testifies directly to our hearts, giving us the profound assurance that we can, and we will, see Jesus face to face one day.
(00:00:00) The journey toward our glorious hope in Jesus is one of striving and often suffering.
(00:00:08) We are reminded that the Spirit testifies within us, confirming we are God's children and co-heirs with Christ.
(00:00:16) This inheritance means that if we share in His sufferings, we will also share in His glory.
(00:00:21) Though the path isn't easy, God is with us. He empowers us and gives us the certain hope that one day, we will see Him face to face.
