3. Reward:
The inheritance of the Church Age believer has two compartments:
The inheritance of the believer has two sides. We are also in union with Christ to participate in His work of service. The WORK of Christ-His SERVICE - is to minister God to the creation – to be the mediator between God and man.
Joh 1:14
2Pe 3:18 When we communicate the truth of mystery doctrine, we participate in this mighty service of God making Himself known for who He really is. The things about the glory of God the Father that Christ came to broadcast just happen to be two things we can become full of ourselves.
The spiritual gifts consist of two capabilities: Spiritual Gifts
As the mediator between God and man, Christ has three offices:
The prophet speaks the message of God to the people. The priest speaks and acts on behalf of the people to God. He offers the sacrifice and He intercedes. The king gathers up the people and governs them. He exercises authority to the glory of God and for the good of the people. A mediator is a middle person between two parties. The mediator places himself between two parties who are in a conflict, and works to gain the reconciliation.
