Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if children, then heirs; It is not, of course, so in human families. All children are not heirs; but it is so in the family of God. Rom_8:17. Heirs of God, What a heritage! God himself becomes our heritage. We are heirs to all that God has, and all that God is. Rom_8:17. And joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if children, then heirs; For all God’s children are heirs, and all equally heirs. The elder-born members of God’s family, such as Abraham and the rest of the patriarchs, are no more heirs of God than are we of these latter days who have but lately come to Christ. “If children, then heirs.” Heirs of what? Rom_8:17. Heirs of God, Not only heirs...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if children, then heirs; That does not follow in other cases, but it does in the case of the family of God. In a man’s family, only one son can be an heir; but in God’s family, of all is it declared “if children, then heirs.” Rom_8:17. Heirs of God, Not only heirs to God, but heirs of God. God himself is the heritage of his people; he belongs...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I reckon Judge, count it up, and calculate. Rom_8:18. That the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. These sufferings, however sharp, are short, compared with eternal glory, infinitesimal, not worthy to be taken account of; like one drop falling into a river and lost in it.
