But our citizenship is in Heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20
The community of believers is a colony of Heaven. The Ruler of Heaven and earth is our governing authority. The benefits and blessings of Heaven are ours. Its justice system is our hope and we stand firmly to defend and support our homeland.
There are all manner of fun little quizzes on social media that invite users to answer a series of questions and react to various statements. The collected data can supposedly determine your place of origin and residence. This fun pastime has yet to determine I am a citizen of Heaven, but I am reminded every time I begin these surveys that I am a consenting product of my environment.
As a new creature in Christ, I am a representative and ambassador for the place I call my home, Heaven. Someday, our Prince will return and take us Home to where our heart is. Let me invite you to come with me to the most wonderful place in the universe. Heaven! It’s out of this world!
Love,
Gretchen
