Important Information About Preparing The Royal Priesthood

By Steven Smith


Probably, so much might not have been given on the kind of training the partaker of a Royal Priesthood should undergo. This is especially so if a person desires to serve God successfully as a priest. However, preparing the Royal priesthood, therefore, becomes an important undertaking. This can be done by going through training sessions which help a person to understand, as well as fulfill fully the demand of this role.

Understanding the fundamental outline of the Heavenly Kingdom of God is simple. The Heavenly Kingdom consists of two main parts, the saved multitude of people and the Royal Priesthood. The latter has Jesus Christ as the chief priest with the former being the multitude that God shall save to join the world of the righteous.

It is necessary to also understand that a Christian Church is a Royal Priesthood and is withdrawn from the world in order to bless and govern the multitude of saved beings. Every believer in the present times has an appointing of a royal priest. The appointment is the working of grace and hence not dependent on spiritual aptitude. In as much as all believers whether male or female, old or young constitute the Royal-Priesthood, it never implies that priests are equal but that their privileges to undertake priestly duties are equal.

By believing, a person becomes a priest and embody himself to God. Therefore, there is no need to make your transgressions known to a clergy, but instead, confess them directly and privately to God. As a priest, you ought to go before God and present your appeals by yourself. This is unlike the priesthood in Israel based on physical birth. But priestly hood of believers is usually established on salvation or the new birth.

It remains the duty of every believer to spiritually increase by considering and putting into use the doctrines of the Bible. The spiritual life is one invisible business with God and is geared towards the priestly-hood. Until the full development of the spiritual life via diligence in the study and use of Biblical precepts, a believer may never meet their priestly-hood calling and responsibility.

One feature of a priestly function is worship. Commonly misinterpreted as a kind of emotionalism, an ideal worship aims at satisfying Biblical doctrines. Worship could be executed by ritual activities for instance Communion services or by non-ritual activities like singing songs. Whichever form worship takes, it has to always be in honor to God and correct doctrinally. Reading and applying the Word of God forms the key kind of worship. Thanksgiving prayers and giving offerings are other priestly roles.

Basically, the purpose of spiritual life of every believer is to have the association with God. Such relationships are usually private and unseen. Only a person can be able to describe the nature of association.

It is extremely crucial that every believer learns, comprehends and executes a true life spiritually. Without a correct comprehension of Biblical spiritual life, the priestly-believer may live a life while executing a form of asceticism and legalism that only result in unhappiness and spiritual weakness. A true priest-hood is invisible. It is beyond just being good in deeds and fulfilling the Ten Commandments.
