OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN / PHILIPPIANS 3:20-21

(KJV) Philippians 3:20-21

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Christians are no longer citizens of this world; by choosing to follow Jesus, they have become strangers and aliens on the earth (John 18:36; Romans 8:22-24; Galatians 4:26; Hebrews 11:13; 12:22-23; 13:14; 1 Peter 1:17; 2:11).

1. Jesus said of His followers: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it” (John 17:16). As Christians, we are pilgrims on a journey through the world; we are on our way to a new home. In relation to our life’s journey, its values and direction, heaven is our destination. It is the homeland for which we long. We have been born from above (John 3:3), our names are written in heaven’s directory (Philippians 4:3), our lives are guided by heavenly standards and our rights and inheritance are reserved in heaven.
2. If we are faithful to God, our prayers reach heaven (2 Chronicles 6:21; 30:27) and our hope is directed there. Many of us have friends and family members who are already there, and we will be there soon. Jesus is there also, preparing a place for us, and He has promised to return and take us to heaven to be with Him (John 14:2-3; John 3:3; 14:1-4; Romans 8:17; Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:1-3; Hebrews 6:19-20; 12:22-24; 1 Peter 1:4-5; Revelation 7:9-17). For these reasons, all Christians long “for a better county – a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them” (Hebrews 11:16).
