In Romans 8, the most amazing truth is declared; that, as Christians, we are children of God. By the Holy Spirit, we are adopted into his family, and because of this, made his heirs. However, we can only be heirs with Christ if indeed we share in his sufferings. We must continue groaning in this world in our strive to future glory, identifying with Christ in our journeys. Of course, we do not groan without hope, for there is no present suffering greater than the glory that will be revealed in us.
