Sharing in the Glory of God and Jesus Christ:
The following is from New Testament letters
written to Christians:
"When
Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also
will be revealed with Him in glory." Colossians 3:4
(NAS)
"And it was for this He called
you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ." II Thessalonians 2:14
(NAS)
"For this reason I endure all
things for the sake of those who are chosen, that
they also may obtain the salvation which is in
Christ Jesus with eternal glory." 2 Timothy 2:10
(NAS)
"But we do see Him who has been
made for a little while lower than the angels,
namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death
crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of
God He might taste death for everyone. For it was
fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and
through whom are all things, in bringing many sons
to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation
through sufferings." Hebrews 2:9 (NAS)
Speaking to the elders who
shepherd the church: "And when the Chief Shepherd
appears, you will receive the unfading crown of
glory." 1 Peter 5:4 (NAS)
"Therefore we have been buried
with Him through baptism into death, in order that
as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of
life." Romans 6:4 (NAS)
