Heirs with Christ
Romans 8:12-17
12
So then, brothers, we don’t owe a thing to our old nature that would require us to live according to our old nature.
13
For if you live according to your old nature, you will certainly die; but if, by the Spirit, you keep putting to death the practices of the body, you will live.
14
All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.
15
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to bring you back again into fear; on the contrary, you received the Spirit, who makes us sons and by whose power we cry out, “Abba!” (that is, “Dear Father!”).
16
The Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God;
17
and if we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with the Messiah — provided we are suffering with him in order also to be glorified with him.
