He has given us perfect insight into his secret purpose and understanding of it, in following out the design he planned to carry out in Christ,

and in arranging, when the time should have fully come, that everything in heaven and on earth should be unified in Christ??11 the Christ through whom it is our lot to have been predestined by the design of him who in everything carries out the purpose of his will,

If we endure, we will reign with him! If we disown him, he will also disown us!
