The Coming Priesthood & The Higher Calling

This sermon by Bertrand Comparet discusses the concept of a continuing priesthood and the idea of rewards and a higher calling in Christianity beyond simply being saved. The main points are:

1. In the Old Testament, the tribe of Levi served as priests, judges, teachers, and government officials for the Israelites. This Levitical priesthood is seen as a precursor to the roles believers will have in the coming Kingdom of YHVH.

2. Just being saved or attaining eternal life is the minimum, but there are higher levels and rewards that can be earned through faith and good works. This is contrasted with the prevailing focus on personal salvation in modern churches.

3. The apostle Paul and Jesus himself spoke of striving for a higher calling and greater rewards based on diligent effort, self-discipline, and enduring tests/challenges. Mere belief is not enough for the highest rewards.

4. Believers will be judged by Christ not for salvation itself, but to determine their roles and levels of rewards in the Kingdom based on their works.

5. Pursuing the higher calling is difficult but worthwhile, likened to the refining process for making a strong sword blade. Many are called but few may be chosen for the highest rewards.
