Romans 8:14-17 Part 4 of 4

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 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.

 

Now if we are children, then we are heirs

Galatians 3:29  If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 4:7  So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Ephesians 3:6  This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Titus 3:7  ... so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

if indeed we share in his sufferings 

2 Corinthians 1:5  For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

in order that we may also share in his glory 

2 Timothy 2:12a  ... if we endure, we will also reign with him.

1 Peter 4:13  But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
