How do we know that believers share in Christ's glory?

The assurance of believers sharing in Christ's glory is established in Scripture, specifically in John 17:22 where Jesus states, 'the glory which thou gavest me I have given them.' This indicates that those who are united with Christ through faith share in the honor and spiritual privileges He possesses. As heirs in God's family, believers are made partakers of the divine nature, symbolically elevated to the roles of kings and priests. This reflection of Christ's glory serves as both a validation of their redemption and an encouragement to live in a manner worthy of their calling.
