You’re Not Just Being Saved — You’re Being Trained to Rule

Why God’s purpose for you is bigger than going to heaven

Most Christians think salvation is about escaping earth. But God is training you to rule it.

“And has made us kings and priests to our God;
and we shall reign on the earth.”
—Revelation 5:10

That’s not a metaphor. It’s your destiny.

Jesus didn’t call you just to “believe in Him.” He called you to follow Him — to be shaped, tested, and prepared for rulership in His Kingdom.

You’re not here to retire. You’re here to train.

So what’s the training?

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about becoming faithful.

  • Obeying when it costs you

  • Choosing the narrow path when the world offers shortcuts

  • Leading by example when no one notices

  • Enduring pain, pressure, and rejection — without giving up

  • Saying “yes” to God when everything in you wants to say “no”

This is what kings-in-training do.

“And the kingdom and dominion… shall be given to the saints of the Most High.”
—Daniel 7:27

Jesus is returning to establish His government. Not in heaven — but on earth.

And He’s looking for people He can trust to help Him govern the nations.

“To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne.”
—Revelation 3:21

This training period won’t last forever. You don’t get a second internship in the resurrection. Your trials, your temptations, your choices — they’re all part of the test.

If you’re faithful in the little now, you’ll be trusted with much later.

You weren’t saved to sit.

You were saved to serve. To lead. To reign.

With Christ. On earth. Forever.
