Our citizenship

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ - Philippians 3:20 (NIV)

Christians claim citizenship in various countries throughout the world, but we are aliens too. We live on the earth for now, but we are on the journey to a better place. Our citizenship is in heaven where our risen Savior resides. We appreciate and respect our national citizenship and take the responsibilities seriously, but we know that we do not really “fit in” perfectly; our values and lifestyle often conflict with those of the worldly culture.

Someday though, we will finally feel at home. We will enter Heaven and enjoy the privileges and joys of the true citizenship awaiting us there.
