For God's Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
And since we are His children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ..... we are heirs of God’s glory.
"BUT..... IF WE ARE TO SHARE HIS GLORY," (not a given)... we must also share HIS suffering. (Romans 8:16,17)
****You may be a child of God - but not necessarily the bride of Christ.
