What will the church age believer rule over in eternity?
The church age believer, identified as the Body of Christ, will rule in the heavenlies. The whole area of outer space is their domain, while Israel will have the earth. This rule is a reward, not salvation, which is a gift.
Les teaches that the church age believer, the Body of Christ, is going to rule in the heavenlies. The whole area of outer space will be the domain of the church age believer, whereas Israel is going to have the earth. There will also be a certain amount of interfacing between those in resurrected bodies and the millennial citizens who will be in flesh and blood. Les explains there are areas of reward that every believer should work for, but you do not work for salvation because it is a gift. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You cannot work for something and still call it a gift; salvation is taken totally as a gift of God without doing any work of any kind.
