This document discusses what it means to be a child of God and heir to God's inheritance. To be sure of one's adoption as a child of God, one must have the Spirit bear witness that they are God's child. One must also be willing to suffer with Christ so that they may be glorified together. While suffering on earth is temporary, the glory believers will receive with Christ is eternal and far outweighs any suffering. As heirs of God, believers have a wonderful inheritance simply through being adopted as God's children.
