Why is being heirs with Christ important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Being heirs with Christ signifies that we share in His glory and inheritance as adopted children of God.
The doctrine of believers being heirs with Christ is foundational to understanding our identity in Christ. Romans 8:17 states that if we are children of God, we are also heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. This entails that all believers will share in the glory of Christ, which is not only a present reality but also a future hope. This inheritance assures us of eternal life and fellowship with God, highlighting the incredible grace extended to us through adoption. It also reminds us that our suffering in this life is temporary and meaningful, as it prepares us for the glorious inheritance awaiting us in eternity.
