For years I misread Romans 8 16 17. In my defense, I never heard it preached or taught correctly, that I can remember. But, to my shame, I fell into a trap and the trap is making assumptions about Scripture passages rather than honestly interpreting the passages, even if the interpretation doesn t fit our theological grid. I always assumed all believers become both heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ at the point of salvation, as if there were a period at the end of that statement. However, I have since realized that, according to the verse, inheritance with Christ is conditional if so be that we suffer with him. Somehow, I had missed that. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ Galatians 4 7 . The other inheritance is conditional. It is not guaranteed, but is awarded at the Judgment Seat only to those who qualify, based on faithfulness and perhaps other factors i.e., how one progresses in sanctification . The inheritance is the privilege of ruling with Christ in the millennium as a co heir with Christ. Cr James Hollandsworth Two Inheritances Kingdom Preparation
