Citizenship is in Heaven

“But For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 3:20 KJV).

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 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.
