You Are a Citizen

Did you know that as a believer in Jesus, you have a new citizenship. It is in heaven. And it is based on your new birth in Christ. You belong to him, and are now part of the kingdom of God. Why does the Bible tell us this great news? It does so to anchor us to the great hope that we have in Christ. A hope that gives us confidence and security to live as children of God in this crazy world. A hope that makes us stand out against the patterns of this world. A hope that gives us a purpose in representing the kingdom of God Now your passport identifies you as a citizen of an earthly country. But your real citizenship is in heaven. Rejoice, you have an eternal home.
