Salvation’s ultimate purpose is ruling with Christ in the coming kingdom
Evidence
The real reason for our salvation is to be able to rule and reign with Him in the Millennial Kingdom and after that for eternity. Everything moves toward this goal. Being conformed into His image is critically important. Being a living example of Christ is what will bring others to the Lord, but the real purpose for our calling is to have positions of authority alongside of Christ in the coming Millennial Kingdom and forever in heaven. Our life here on earth is simply the training ground, the proving ground, and the testing ground for that next life! — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 96
