  2. Exposition

Why is it important for Christians to have certainty about their status as God’s children?

Romans 8:17 (ESV)

17 and if children, then heirs heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Certainty about our status as God’s children is important, for it provides us with a firm confidence that we will most certainly be delivered from death and will live in God’s presence in glory.1
