Will you be included in the Church of the Firstborn in the heavenlies in the Millennium? Inclusion is not guaranteed for all children of God, but only granted to those believers whom Jesus rewards for living “good and faithful.” Pastor Hollandsworth describes the qualifications for inheriting a place in this glorious assembly in New Jerusalem.

God’s chastening is not mere punishment, but the entire process of child-rearing. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that God does not chasten all of His children, but only who cooperate with Him in the sanctification process. His purpose is to bring us to maturity by applying customized trials and sufferings, so we can become “sons to glory” in the coming kingdom.
