“If children, then heirs – heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer for Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Romans 8:17).

THE RESURRECTED LIFE ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE CRUCIFIED LIFE
The Cross was the tool God used to prepare the way of salvation. We must also believe that God raised Jesus from the dead because this is where the power of God enters our lives. We died at the Cross to our old life. We begin our new life in the resurrected power of the Holy Spirit. As we live the resurrected life, we enter the fellowship of Jesus’ suffering. Thus, preparing us for trials and the spiritual battles we will fight.
The earthly form of Christ is the way He died on the cross. The image of God is the image of Christ crucified. It is this image that the life of the disciple must live. In other words, they adjusted to His death.
A life of crucifixion. Anybody living in the strength of Christ's baptism lives in the power of His death. Thus, a daily dying in the war between the flesh and the spirit. The suffering which all his disciples on earth must undergo.
Christians called according to His purpose will find the Cross a necessary path to maturity. We are opening the way to enter the fellowship of His suffering. Thus, living in the power of His resurrection, resulting in a true reflection of His Image for all to behold. Remember, the resurrected life always follows the crucified life. When we take an area of our lives to the Cross and put it to death, God resurrects that area in newness for His glory.
Jesus is dead serious about His Word; in fact, He died to keep His Word. He says that we must be born again of the Spirit. Enter the fellowship of His suffering, be conformed into His image, and live in the power of His resurrection. We are also told to do good works on earth, lay our treasures up in heaven, and seek the kingdom of God more than anything else. Knowing that the truth will set us free, we will rely on the author and finisher of our faith (Jesus) to teach us the doctrinal truth in everything.
It is through the fellowship of His suffering we grow in faith. And as we look to Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith, all things are possible. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed [surrounded] about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrew 12:1-2).
