part of the believer's hope is REIGNING WITH CHRIST in the Kingdom.

I believe in a future 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ on earth—literally and physically. Part of the believer's hope in glorification, when believers are perfected with new physical bodies, is that we will share in the Messiah's royal reign and we will serve His kingdom purposes on earth (Matt 19:28; Luke 22:30).

1 Corinthians 6:2 - do you not know that the saints will judge the world? We will have the privilege of ruling and reigning with Christ (cf. 2 Tim 2:12).

Let us long for that future day when we will:
1. behold our Savior face to face
2. serve our Savior for all eternity
3. worship our Savior with unceasing joy
4. reign with our Savior as vice-regents who do His bidding.

Praise the LORD. What a hope we have!
