Basic Doctrines: The Reward of the Saved
Bible Study by Earl L. HennGod promised Abraham that in his Seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed, a spiritual promise that encompasses the life and work of Abraham's descendant Jesus Christ. The promises pertaining to salvation were first given to Abraham and his Seed, who is Christ, and were later extended to all whom God calls to salvation. Those who exhibit the faith and righteousness of Abraham become his spiritual descendants and therefore heirs of the same promises, including the inheritance of the earth. Jesus Christ will return to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, and His faithful followers, as co-heirs with Him, will receive positions of rulership under the King of kings. This reward involves teaching obedience to God's laws throughout the earth during the thousand-year reign and ultimately extends to governing the entirety of God's creation for all eternity as members of the God Family.
