Notes

Romans 8:17

Jesus is heir to all of God’s promises (Mark 12:1–12; Galatians 3:18–19; Hebrews 1:2). As those who belong to Jesus, we share with him in that glorious inheritance. However, just as it was for Jesus, our path to glory is also marked by suffering. We experience challenges while trying to live right in a world dominated by sin (2 Corinthians 1:5; Philippians 1:29; 3:10).
