Nr. 29:

The Purpose of Our Sanctification!

Rom. 8. 29 you that he has pre-acknowledged, he has already decided to be shaped by his Son's image, so he should be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 And those whom He has pre-destined to this, he also called. Those whom He called He also justified, and whom he justified he also glorified.

God's goal with us is that we all should emulate our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Of course this is not done in a jiffy, but God's goal is clear. We read that we should be glorified. What is it? In my view it is that God has said and domination in all areas of our lives, no place where he is Lord and in control.

God's thought is far more than just that we shall be saved. But we are here in the future under the "education" and training for our future service to the Lord, are you aware of that? It should be as this is a very important topic in the Word of God! The Lord will be put in us and make us capable to every good work and aim for us to be his extended arm in this world and the coming age, will make you fit or go with the flow and volume on the broad way? The choice is yours, but teaching is here on the blog and our website; janchristensen.net are of best quality to be fit for the coming era.

Here are 10 points that shows us the importance and significance of this important and neglected topic.

1) As we sow we reap, there is a Divine law?

1. Cor. 15. 35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? What kind of body do they come? "36 You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that comes up, but a bare grain, of wheat or other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he wants, each kind of seed its own body.
39 Not all meat is of the same kind. It is a stroke in humans, another for animals, another for birds and another for fish. 40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, the celestial is one glory of the earthly is another. 41 One glory of the sun, another the moon, and another of the stars. Yes, one star differs from another in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a body that had soul, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written: 45 The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual was not first, but the soul. Then came the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth and created the earth, the second man is from heaven. 48 To the man of dust, such are the other earthly. And so the heaven, so shall also the heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall also bear the heavenly image. 50 But I say, brethren: flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, and does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 suddenly, instantly, at the last basunstøt. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 And when this corruptible has put on the imperishable and this mortal put on immortality, then fulfilled what is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

In the resurrection it is to regain a sow here, just in a different and glorious plumage and shape! We read in God's word that all who accept Jesus are God's children. This was the reformation of the great and important truth. But there are at least three categories saved, or how sluttfrelsen is for them. This was the reformation of the great and important truth. This is of course a very broad subject and as a not fully know until the individual has to be within its God with their lives. But let me take the three categories of short and of course somewhat simplified.

a.) Those who experience salvation, but do not hold out until the end. Or who goes from being true children of God to be false prophets, etc. Thus, one can not reach the "pearly gates". One is an apostate in the true sense, and will share the ticket with the unbelievers. I have spoken against many Pentecostal \ charismatics, they are on this road. They started many of them wonderful, but have been led to believe and think that one can replace followed by everything else. Jesus says that those who do not daily take up his cross and follow him, is not he worth. This fall many through. We read in Matthew 7 about those who were once under the Lord's direction and ended up as falke prophets. It has a lot that I could also have mentioned by name but will let it go from me when I have far more important things to say.

b) Those who are saved, yet so as by fire. The whole life's work or most are burnt out but are still saved. Here you will find very many, I wonder not that there are very many Lutherans and others? They way I see it, do not be in control during the 1000 year kingdom on the same way as those whom the Lord entrusted to a governing task under the Millennium. All who are saved during the great tribulation are in this category + all those who do not "get" to get full pay. It's about that they should "only" be worshipers, not of the "trusted".

NB! It says the following in Revelation 20 4 And I saw thrones and they sat upon them, and it was given them the power to execute judgments, and I saw the souls that were beheaded for Jesus' testimony and the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and who had not received its mark on his forehead and on his hand: and they were living and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead were not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

This is the wrong translation, as it is in the basic text that they will reign for 1000 years. It is used this word in Greek: meta means after, but is incorrectly translated. It is translated but should have been translated for. All will eventually rule and Kings, but this will happen after the Lord creates a new heaven and a new earth. The correct translation is as follows: "and they were alive (with the beginning of 1000 year kingdom) and reigned with Christ for a thousand years".

c) As a people who wholeheartedly follow God and the Lamb, here are the "few" but "trusted". Jesus himself shall choose them to get control over from one city to 10 cities, according to Luke 19 and Matthew 25 How big should the cities be under 1000 years of empire and how many people will enter this age? We read that only during the 2 major wars that I post under my commentaries on Revelation, half of Earth's population die. Then all the other seals, anger bowls, court trumpets and the coming judgments of Jehoshaphat valley mentioned in Matt. 25 and Joel 3 So we must count on Max 1 billion people, these are my own thoughts but I think even then to have God's Spirit. Should go into the 1000 year kingdom.

Israel is currently about. 13 million Jews, when known. But there is NOK more when the 10 lost tribes are not known, we will then appear in the 50 million Jews? It does not sound so strange? And we take that there are perhaps 10 or 100 million of all saved through the years who have been Jesus faith throughout his life and up to standard? I do not know? But that throughout history has been saved 1 - 2 - 3 billion people? But out of them so am sure a few of them who really is Jesus think? How many is the fullness of the Gentiles? The number known only by God, but we may be allowed to have an opinion and idea without saying that it necessarily is completely safe!

Matt. 7. 13 Enter by the narrow gate! for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be which go in thereat; 14 for the gate is narrow and the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it .

This is not really the people in general, but to all disciples. We read in the introduction to the Sermon on the Mount that he taught his disciples, not really the world. But it can and has secure a double significance.

Matt. 5. 1. And when he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened the his mouth, learned them.

Of all the disciples, most of the width of road, I do not mean that they are lost. But they are not Jesus' followers in the way that God is pleased and they will get full pay and to experience Christ life to the fullest?

2. Joh. b. 8 To you, in that you do not lose what I have gained through your work, but that you may get full pay!

Of course this is new thinking for most people, I have not heard so much preaching about this myself, but personally I am convinced that this is up to standard within its God with the disbursements. If you do not agree, then leave it and seek the Lord again so that he can speak to you. It may well be that one is wrong when we were all stuck in our thoughts and imaginations that we all have been taught and believe.

2) The disciples foremost and most important thoughts were about the coming Kingdom of God!

Markus 10 35 James and John, sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, "Master, it is something we will ask you to do for us." 36 "What am I to do for you?" He asked. 37 They replied, "Let us sit next to you in your glory, the one on your right side and the other on your left!" 38 But Jesus said to them: "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? "39" What can we, "they replied. Jesus said to them: "The cup that I drink you shall drink, and the baptism I am baptized with, you shall be baptized with. 40 But who is to sit at my right or left is not mine to decide. There, they sit as it is prepared to. "

We read again and again that the disciples were preoccupied with the coming kingdom of God above all else. Even when Jesus had been raised and given them the mission to go out to preach the gospel, they were concerned with the kingdom, it was in their consciousness that the aim of all the good work. Just as the negative was knuttet the Lord's day.

Acts 1. 6 While they were together, they asked him, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He replied, "It is not for you to know the times and the seasons the Father has set by his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria, and unto the ends. "

Lord, they asked, is restoring the kingdom to Israel? The Lord will do when he comes back and pagan times, it's over with.

Luke 21 24 and they shall fall by the sword and led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be nedtrådt of the Gentiles, until the heathen time is over.

3) The vast majority of believers will live in the New Jerusalem during the 1000-årsriket.

Joh. Obvious. 3. 12 He who overcomes, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and never again will he leave it. I will write my God's name for him with the name of my God's city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from my God - and also my new name. 21. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

The new Jerusalem will come over the earthly Jerusalem, and then all the saved have been the glory of his body and has been transformed.

File. 3. 21 who will transform our degradation-body, so it is equal to his glory-body, according to the force with which he may make himself all things.

When the vast majority of believers will be saved as by fire and the converter process is not progressed so far that the Lord will tell them a city or to reign with him until after the 1000 year kingdom. So will they be in a form of "training period" during the coming kingdom. We read about this several places in God's word that they took care of the opportunity they had in Christ, therefore they lose their salary and the ability to control and rule fully to Christ during the 1000 year kingdom.

Luke 19 20 And another came and said, Lord! see here is your pound, which I had left in a handkerchief; 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man, taking up what you do not let down, and reap what you sow. 22 He said to him: After your own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant! You knew that I was an austere man, taking up what I did not let down, and reaping what I sowed, 23 why did you not my money to the moneychangers? So I had when I came, got them back with interest. 24 And he said to them that stood by his side: Take the pound from him and give it to him that hath ten pounds! 25 - They said unto him, Lord! he has ten pounds! - 26 I tell you that every one that hath shall be given: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken even what he has.

I do not know how many this is the case of the saved, but there are many, I am fully convinced. Salvation and life with God was not lost, but the salary and to reign with Christ for 1000 years the whistle!

4) The most faithful, devoted, competent and righteous will reign with Christ.

2. Tim. 2. 9 The suffering I need, yes, I am bound as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound. 10 Therefore I endure everything for the elect's sake, that they too will reach salvation in Christ Jesus and have eternal glory. 11 This is a faithful saying: for we died with Him, we shall also live with him. 12 We must persevere, we shall also reign with him. We deny, he will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He is faithful, for he can not deny himself.

The most faithful will get the whole "package". Salvation, life with God, full salary and reign with Christ for 1000 years.

Joh. Obvious. 20. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection: over them the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ and reign with Him a thousand years (they are some enthusiasts who will reign with him in 1000 years, "the privileged and filed." While the amount is before God in worship and "training" to "take back" what they missed out on earth).

Some will rule over a city, some 5 or 10 cities. Depending on which Christ puts us over and we have been his faith and devotion. We can read about several places in the word of God, the next two sections we have is from Luke and Matthew. Since this is so tremendously important section to understand what I want to say, so I refer to Matthew 25 14-30 and reproduces it in Luke 19 it all, for importance's sake.

v. 12 He said, A man of high birth went into a far country to receive kingly power and then come back again. 13 He then called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds, and said, bargain with them until I return. 14 But his citizens hated him, and able to send men off after him, saying: We do not want this man to reign over us. 15 And it happened when he had received royal power, and came back, when he commanded the servants he had given the money, was called for him, that he might know what each of them had won. 16 Then came the first, and said, Lord! your pound has thrown off his ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well done, good servant! because you have been faithful in little things, you shall rule over ten cities. 18 And the second came and said, Lord! your pound has made five pounds. 19 Also this he said: Be thou over five cities! 20 And another came and said, Lord! see here is your pound, which I had left in a handkerchief; 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man, taking up what you do not let down, and reap what you sow. 22 He said to him: After your own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant! You knew that I was an austere man, taking up what I did not let down, and reaping what I sowed, 23 why did you not my money to the moneychangers? So I had when I came, got them back with interest. 24 And he said to them that stood by his side: Take the pound from him and give it to him that hath ten pounds! 25 - They said unto him, Lord! he has ten pounds! - 26 I tell you that every one that hath shall be given: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken even what he has. 27 But those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them, before it hit and struck them down for my eyes!

Note that in v. 27 is not the Lamb we see, but the Lion of the tribe of Judah who rules with an iron scepter.

Joh. Obvious. 19. 15 And of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he will turn the nations: and he shall rule them with an iron rod, and he tread vinpersen with God, the Almighty, strict wrath of wine.

Jesus will rule and reign with a rod of iron, therefore, we see that he biledelig voice says that he will strike down those who do not want to have him as King and the reigns from Jerusalem and Israel during the 1000 year kingdom.

Isaiah 2 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days That the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and high above all the hills and all nations shall flow to it. / 3 And many people shall go away and say: Come, let us go up to the LORD, the God of Jacob House, that he may teach us his ways, and we walk in his paths! For out of Zion shall be allowed outbound, and word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations and judge for many people, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall no longer learn to wage war.

5) All believers will eventually become Kings and be Christ like.

Joh. Obvious. 22. 5 The night will be no more, and they should not be used for the light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will shine upon them. And they will reign forever and ever!

All believers will finally be united wonderful, magnificent and take the position that is for all, once one gets part of final salvation. It is when the Lord creates a new heaven and earth and Jesus surrenders everything back to the Father that all will experience God through His Spirit will fill all in all, even the "blunt most" Christian will be more fiery than any here today.

Joel 3 15 Beat your hoes into swords and your pruning hooks into spears! The week saying I'm a hero!

6) The length of the right time is 1000 years.

Joh. Obvious. 20. 7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison.

We meet the kingdom several places in the word of God, both the Old and the New Testament. But it is in the book of Revelation 20 that we get information and it appears that this kingdom will last for 1000 years, this realm that many of the biblical men and women have seen in the Spirit. Then there will be a reality for us all.

Daniel 2 44 And in those days the kings the God of heaven these tools a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to something different people, it will crush and destroy all the kingdoms of Josephine, but even it shall stand forever ; 45 for you could see that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke the iron, copper, clay, silver and gold. The great God has shown the king what shall happen in the future, and firmly standing dream, and credible is the interpretation.

7) Israel is the people who will rule together with Christ and the church.

Rom. 11. 22 So you see that God is both good and rigorous - strict with those who have fallen, but good to you if you hold on to his goodness. Otherwise, you also cut off. 23 But the other shall be grafted if they do not hold on to their disbelief. For God has power to graft them in again. 24 You were cut off from a wild olive tree and grafted contrary to nature into a good tree. How much more will the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?
25 I want you to know a secret, sibling, so you should not have too high opinion of yourself: Some of Israel has been hardened, until the nations are entered in full numbers. 26 In this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: From Zion to rescue the man come, he will take away godlessness from Jacob, 27, and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.

Although the church and Israel are two different sizes of font, so there must be an association between these two peoples the kingdom of God during the 1000 year kingdom. Israel will proselytize, while those of the Gentile Christians that the Lord has taken out to rule over the earth. Some over a city, other than 5 or 10 cities.

8) We must understand the difference between the church's mission and Israel's mission.

Matt. 24. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Markus 13 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Israel and particularly the 144 000 that the Lord will put a seal on to preach to fill the gospel of the kingdom. Before the Lord takes them to heaven after their mission is happily carried out at the end of the great tribulation. But the congregation to experience and find that word on the Cross to go and reach out to the entire world population until Jesus comes and takes us into his home. When will our work be above the earth, so far. Church key mission is to preach the gospel, the word of the cross, but in teaching based on God's word, as we proclaim the gospel of the kingdom.

9) It is God who will judge and judge us in the end!

Rom. 14. 12 And so must each of us to account for themselves.

This is written so that we should fit most of our own lives and I do not know where and whom the Lord shall be put to govern together with him during the 1000 year kingdom, but I have a fervent desire and a great hope to be in with my family and everyone in the congregation Smyrna Oslo.
Paul condemned not themselves even when it came on he kept goal within its God. This we know is not true to the fullest, even once, since it is only God who knows us fully!

1. Cor. 4. 1 How shall each man look upon us, namely, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Otherwise, it is required of stewards that they must be found to be true.
3 But to me it means little if I should be judged by you or by a human court. Neither judge myself.
4 With myself I do not know about something, but then I am not justified. He who judges me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring hidden things of darkness to light and reveal your heart advice. Then shall the individual make his praise of God.

10) Why it's almost not taught about this?

Joh. e. 16 12 I have yet much to say to you, but you can not bear them now.

This has unfortunately been a neglected theme and topics, the importance and the rewards and the starter is to go with God 110% and be his total surrendered and obedient. It always pays, to go the way of God to the fullest here in time and the world. This I have experienced and would recommend it also to you, and all other medvandrere on this earth, as in particular grace my siblings!


1. Tim. 4. 8.b godliness is profitable for all, it has the promise of the life that now is and of what is coming.

Do you want to be with the 1000 year kingdom? Then you have to hold out until the end and experience sluttfrelsen. Will you reign with Christ and control at least one city? I can not give any promise on this course. But surrender yourself to the NU and the rest of your life 110% in the hands of the Lord is greater opportunity to experience this and get full pay one if you do not give yourself to Christ completely. The choice is yours, the choice is mine, we will each give an account and get the loyalty reward. Grace salary is to be saved, loyalty reward is to reign with Christ during His Millennium.

The biggest is to be saved!

There are of course allowed to asked questions with what I convey here, but the biggest is to get experience sluttfrelsen, anyway.

1. Joh. b. 3 2 Beloved now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, we know that when He appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Today, we can fall and remain. We can all go astray in the spiritual field. There is still a possibility that we do not reach heaven. Therefore, it says that it is only when we come within its "pearly gates" in the New Jerusalem and we will receive crown, that we are finally saved. One day I hope to reach in with my family and millions of others. Will you answer yes, and join and completely you surrender? This is something you and only you can answer yes or no to. Let your answer be YES TODAY, HERE AND NOW! WHAT WILL YOU GUARANTEED never regret!

I'm glad I said yes the day Jesus came and showed me his way.
The living way.
I'm glad I said yes when Jesus told me to shut up.
I'm glad I said yes when Jesus told me to follow him.
Now the choice is yours, will you answer yes, dear friend, or go on your wild helpful way that did not work!
I'm glad I said yes, so do not delay the election but more yes answers you and come and let your salvation and be transformed dear friend!
