    Ro.8:17 "Joint-heirs with Christ"

    "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; "

    Christ having died once has fulfilled his obligation under the covenant. He dies no more but is seated "on the right hand of the Majesty on High". After he had by himself purged our sins, he continues "all things by the word of his power," and it shall be so till the day decreed for him must be accomplished. In the beginning set the covenant to which the fulness of time marked the testament of Christ to come in effect. So what is holding him up? "Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool./The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies." (Ps.110:1-2 He.1:3:Ps.2:7)

    Having freed from law of sin we are waiting for the redemption of our bodies, the Law of the Spirit has covered by the spirit of adoption so we cry, Abba, Father." Besides Jesus taught us the prayer as to signify what was his Father. "Our Father which art in heaven is our reality under the life in the Spirit. Blood of the Lamb has cleansed us from our former life, in the flesh. Christ of God has come sanctification to us. "For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren."(He.2:11-12) The word of God endures forever which is the gospel preached to us. (1 Pe.1:25). We heard while so many heard but dismissed it outright as unnecessary. What made the difference. We heard the gospel in faith. (Ro.10:17) This connects with the Law, forever settled in the heavens. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren./ Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Not all who were foreknown simply treated as those in the Parable of the Marriage of the king's Son.
