What is the price of being a joint heir with Christ?
The price of being a joint heir with Christ is suffering with Him, so that we may also be glorified together with Him. Scripture states that if we are children, we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, but this inheritance comes with a cost: sharing in His sufferings.
Les explains that being children of God means we are heirs, and specifically joint heirs with Christ, meaning everything that is Christ's is ours equally. However, he points out there is a price: if we suffer with Him, we will be glorified together with Him. While American believers may not know intense suffering for their faith, many around the world face persecution and even lose their lives daily for their faith. This suffering is part of the price of being a joint heir.
