FELLOW CITIZENS
Ephesians 2:19-22
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Encouraging Words
It is quite amazing, when you think about it, that because of who Jesus is, and what He has done, that those of us who follow Him, are fellow citizens with saints and members of the household of God. We are no longer strangers and foreigners in His kingdom. This also means that we are now foreigners in this earthly kingdom that we dwell in today. We are His ambassadors and as such must be demonstrating to those around us what the kingdom of God is and why everyone should become citizens there. If we are looking and acting more like citizens of earth (and the United Sates) than we are citizens of heaven, then we are serving the wrong master. Glory be to God!
