Heaven our Home
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a
Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20 NIV).
If you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior,
that he died for your sins and rose from the grave and ascended to heaven, then
you are a Christian, a follower of Christ.
This also means that this world we live in is not our home. Our home is
in heaven because by believing in Christ, we are citizens of heaven.
We followers of Christ eagerly wait to meet Jesus. We wait
expectantly and patiently to that day when we get to meet our Maker
face-face. What a glorious time this
will be. I know that I eagerly await my time to leave this fallen world to
journey to heaven to be with my Creator.
While we wait though, we must survive the current world we
live in and this takes great effort on our part to not fall to the ways of this
world but to keep our eyes focused on our final prize: to be with Jesus in
heaven for all eternity.
The world we live in is ruled by Satan and he will try to do
his best to encourage us to stray from Christ’s teachings and stop believing in
His promises of eternal glory with Him in heaven. Hold tight my friends to
Christ and His ways, always praying for strength and guidance as we run the
marathon of Christian living to the finish line and cross over into heaven to
meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
