Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ

Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 8:16-17 KJV
Heirs of God; Joint heirs with Christ
SNIPPETS FROM SERMON

Sometimes when we say we are heirs from God, it may seem like we inherit things from God. However, we are heirs of God, meaning we inherit Him. We are not taking from Him, we are taking Him. To inherit God, we must come through Jesus. Christ is the first born and we share our inheritance with Christ. 

God in His purpose said " I want some people to be conformed to the image of my son. You are a part of those and at the appropriate time He called you. Your salvation did not come to God as a surprise. He predestinated them. Jesus came, died and resurrected, setting a pattern.
