Benefits of Being in God's Family1) We will get to be with God forever.
2) We will be completely changed to be like Christ. (Still being pruned by God and in the process, I realise more and more of my shortcomings and sinfulness.)
3) We will be freed from all pain, death and suffering. (Not exactly true. All Christians are required to carry our own crosses / bear with our suffering, but we wait in patience and hope as we trust that our Lord Jesus will carry us along.)
4) We will be rewarded and reassigned positions of service. (I'm often being condemned both in my mother's and school leader's eyes, but somehow God is the only one who lifts me up and assigns me
a position of responsibility in the catechism class ministry- the Overall Coordinator. It seems like only God can see the value in me and nobody else appreciates me.)
5) We will get to share in Christ's glory.
The riches of his grace such as kindness, patience, glory, wisdom, power and mercy will pour on us abundantly on Earth.
But in eternity, we will inherit even more.
