Joint-heirs

“The spirit communicates directly with our spirit relaying our nature as children of God and also our full potential as heirs to His kingdom.”

Romans 8: 14-17

14 For as many as are aled by the bSpirit of God, they are the csons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of abondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of badoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth awitness with our bspirit, that we are the cchildren of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; aheirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we bsuffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the asufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the bglory which shall be revealed cin us.

This New Testament passage of scripture stands as a witness of our true nature as children of God the Father. Since the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ the truths that were once distorted by the apostasy have become clear. Although these truths have been distorted throughout the Bible; this New Testament scripture remains as another witness that we, as children of God, are heirs to all that He has. Our nature and potential is reflected in the phrase “joint-heirs” with Christ. Jesus Christ lived a perfect life, thus enabling Him to complete His eternal Atonement in our behalf. He “won” the race of life and received the “prize” of eternal life. Although the race has already been won we must continue fighting through the finish line. As we finish our race Christ shares his prize with all of us and thus we become joint-heirs of the prize. It is through the spirit that we come to know that these principles are true. The spirit communicates directly with our spirit relaying our nature as children of God and also our full potential as heirs to His kingdom.
