Judgment has begun in God's Church
At my first Sabbath service in God's Church, I was told by a member leading the congregation that day that we are here to learn God's way so we can teach it in the world tomorrow (God's Kingdom).
A teacher in this passing world needs to go through thorough training, like listening to lectures and taking examinations, to be a qualified teacher. To qualify for anything you have to thoroughly learn to do all that the field entails.
We, the chosen of God, are set apart (1 Peter 2:9-10) to be teachers in God's Kingdom to come.
What are we doing with the lectures (sermons and sermonettes) and our tests (trials)? Do we learn from the trials and tests of everyday life, instead of complaining about them?
Judgment has begun in God's Church (1 Peter 4:17), and some will fall away (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; 2 Timothy 4:3-4) by whom the way of truth will be blasphemed (Mark 3:28-29; Hebrew 10:26-30).
God has been telling us not to be ignorant of Satan's devices, telling us that the trials (tests) we face, in our personal lives, as families and even as a Church, prepare us for our final examination (Matthew 24:9; Luke 21:12), after which our Lord Jesus Christ will descend from heaven to make us qualified teachers in His Kingdom!
Awake, brethren (1 Thessalonians 5:6-10)! Be ready, for we are Christ's (2 Timothy 3:12) and must face our final examination soon!
Blessed are those who overcome (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21; 21:7) for their reward is with Him (Revelation 22:12-13). Be prepared!
