You are a citizen of heaven. Let your heart overflow with joy, knowing that you belong to an everlasting kingdom where Christ reigns supreme.
What Does The Bible Say
In the hustle and bustle of your earthly lives, it is easy to become entangled in the cares of this world. Yet, as a follower of Jesus Christ, you are called to remember that your true citizenship lies in heaven. Your heart is to be set on things above, eagerly awaiting the glorious return of your Savior.
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” – Philippians 3:20 (NIV)
The Hope of His Return: As a citizens of heaven, you are anchored in the hope of Christ’s return. Titus 2:13 reminds you to wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of your great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. This anticipation should fill your heart with joy and expectancy as you eagerly look forward to the day when every tear will be wiped away, and all things will be made new.
Setting Our Minds on Things Above: Colossians 3:2 encourages to set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. As citizens of heaven, you and I are to cultivate a heavenly mindset, prioritizing eternal values over temporary pleasures. When your heart is fixed on Christ and His kingdom, you find comfort, peace, and purpose, even amidst the challenges of this life.
Living with Purpose: 1 Thessalonians 5:6 prompts to be alert and self-controlled, for the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Anticipation of Christ’s return should fuel your passion for righteous living and sharing the Gospel with others. As an ambassador of Christ, you carry the responsibility of reflecting His love and truth to a world in need of His redeeming grace.
Live as a citizen of heaven with an eager expectation of Christ’s return. May your life be marked by hope, purpose, and worship, reflecting the transformative power of your Savior. As you look upward and forward, let your heart overflow with joy, knowing that you belong to an everlasting kingdom where Christ reigns supreme.
