Rom 8:17 | MHM | STEP | Suffering and Glory with Christ This section teaches that Christians are God’s children and heirs, together with Christ. Paul shows that if we share in Christ’s suffering, we will also share in his glory. Our present sufferings are real, but they cannot compare to the future glory God will give us. All creation is waiting for God’s children to be revealed. The Holy Spirit helps us while we wait and gives us hope for what is coming. v. 17 : Paul says, “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” . This means that because we are God’s children, we will receive an inheritance from God. We share this inheritance with Jesus. However, just as Jesus suffered, we also must expect to face suffering. But this suffering is temporary, and it is part of being united with Christ. If we suffer with him, we will also one day share in his glory and be honored with him.
