Our God is a God of preparation. God uses three devices in order to prepare deliverers (and sons): rejection, temptation, and imprisonment. Every true saint (and we emphasize true because of the immorality and self-seeking prevalent in contemporary Christianity) will be tested with rejection, with enticement to sin, and with imprisonment.
If the disciple passes the three tests he will move forward to become a witness, a king, a deliverer, and an eternal servant of God. He who overcomes in each of these three areas will inherit all things, and God will be his God, and he will be God’s son.
