Scripture shows who the saints and the elect are. \Why are they called saints and elect. What is their future now and in the world to come.

The Bible uses the terms "saints" and "elect" to describe the people whom Yahweh has called, set apart, and chosen for His purpose. These are not two different groups but different descriptions of the same faithful people.

Who Are the Saints?

The word saint means "holy one" or "set apart one."

Yahweh's people are called saints because He has separated them from the world for a special purpose.

Saints Keep Yahweh's Commandments

"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Elohim, and the faith of Yeshua."
— Revelation 14:12

Saints Are Called Out of the World

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people..."
— 1 Peter 2:9

Saints Are Sanctified

"For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one."
— Hebrews 2:11

The saints are those who have been called by Yahweh, have repented, received His Spirit, and strive to obey Him through faith in Yeshua.

Who Are the Elect?

The word elect means "chosen."

Yahweh chooses people according to His purpose.

The Elect Are Chosen by Yahweh

"Many are called, but few are chosen."
— Matthew 22:14

The Elect Cannot Be Deceived Forever

"For there shall arise false messiahs, and false prophets... insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
— Matthew 24:24

The Elect Are Gathered at Yeshua's Return

"And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect..."
— Matthew 24:31

The Elect Were Known Beforehand

"Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate..."
— Romans 8:29-30

The elect are those whom Yahweh has called during this age and who remain faithful to Him.

Why Are They Called Saints and Elect?

Saints

Because they are set apart for Yahweh's holy purpose.

"Be ye holy; for I am holy."
— 1 Peter 1:16

Elect

Because Yahweh chose them to serve Him and to fulfill His plan.

"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you."
— John 15:16

What Is Their Future at Yeshua's Return?

They Will Be Resurrected or Changed

The Dead in Messiah Rise First

"The dead in Messiah shall rise first."
— 1 Thessalonians 4:16

The Living Saints Are Changed

"We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed."
— 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

They Receive Immortality

"This mortal must put on immortality."
— 1 Corinthians 15:53

At Yeshua's return, the saints and elect become immortal spirit beings.

What Will They Do During the 1,000-Year Reign?

Rule With Yeshua

"And they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years."
— Revelation 20:4

Become Kings and Priests

"And hast made us unto our Elohim kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
— Revelation 5:10

Notice it says "on the earth," not in heaven.

Judge the World

"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?"
— 1 Corinthians 6:2

The saints will help administer Yahweh's government over the nations.

What Is Their Role After the Millennium?

After the thousand years:

The rest of the dead are resurrected (Revelation 20:5).
Humanity is given judgment and opportunity according to Yahweh's plan.
Death is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:24-26).
Yahweh dwells with mankind forever (Revelation 21:3-4).

The saints continue as Yahweh's immortal children in His everlasting Kingdom.

The Ultimate Destiny of the Saints and Elect

They Become Children of Yahweh

"Beloved, now are we the sons of Elohim..."
— 1 John 3:2

They Bear His Image

"We shall be like him."
— 1 John 3:2

They Inherit All Things

"He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son."
— Revelation 21:7

They Shine Forever

"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father."
— Matthew 13:43
