11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Is that all? Eternal Life? the verses in question start with the premise that we are brothers....so Im asking what does being joint heirs WITH Christ mean? It actually says essentially BECAUSE we are brothers we are joint heirs with Christ...

The bible also says we will rule and reign with him
