August 16, 2020 - I Am A Citizen of Heaven - (Re)Born Identity series part 6

We’re continuing the (Re)Born Identity series, learning about our identity as believers, and this week’s declaration comes from Philippians 3:20. The Apostle Paul said that we can say, “I Am a Citizen of Heaven.” What he’s talking about is not simply having a membership card. It’s not a casual affiliation with a foreign nation. The original word that’s translated as either citizenship or conversation is really about the way you conduct your life. It’s about what you say, what you do and how you carry yourself. It is from a word that means community, so when you say, “I Am a Citizen of Heaven,” you are not a lone wolf or a free agent. Being a citizen means being part of a community where how you act, what you say and how you live affects every other member of the community.
