Topic: sanctification

We are heirs of God but the full benefits of this will not be poured out on us until eternity. Our present grief prepares us for promised glory. Now we are to share in the sufferings of the Savior. Since Jesus suffered, we should be prepared to suffer ourselves. Suffering doesn’t get the last word. The story of God ends with glory! Because we suffer with Him, we will be glorified with Him.

Do you know who you are? You are not what you do, what you are doing, or what you’ve done. You are not what’s been done to you. What you do doesn’t determine who you are, who you are determines what you do. Therefore, you are who Christ says you are.
