Suffering with Christ
Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him…


Believers suffer with Christ —

I.  IN THE SAME CAUSE — that of truth and righteousness.

II.  FOR THE SAME END — the glory of God and the good of His Church.

III.  FROM THE SAME HAND — Satan, their common enemy, and the world.

IV.  IN THE SAME MANNER, and with the same spirit of patience and resignation.

(T. Robinson, D.D.)
