Ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son.
[I Cor.1:9]
He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ■ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.
[II Pet.1:17 | I John.3:1]
Be ye ... followers of God, as dear children. ■ If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ.
[Eph.5:1 | Rom.8:17]
The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. ■ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
[Heb.1:3 | Matt.5:16]
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. ■ These things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. ■ As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
[Heb.12:2 | John.17:13 | II Cor.1:5]
