“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.” – Romans 8:16-17 . “The Apostle has added to his statement that we are heirs of God with the words “and joint heirs with Christ’. Note his ambition as he seeks to draw us to the Lord. Since not all children are heirs, the Apostle reveals that we are heirs too. Besides, since not all heirs receive a great heritage, he underlines this point as we are heirs of God. Once more, since we could be heirs of God but not joint heirs with the only Son, he indicates that we are blessed with both at the same time.” – St. John Chrysostom #childrenofGod #heirsofGod #jointheirswithChrist #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
