For Such A Time As This: Living Ready

We live in a nation worth celebrating, but there is a kingdom that outlasts every nation on earth. The blessed hope is the confident expectation that Jesus Christ could return at any moment, and that expectation is meant to shape how believers live every single day. As citizens of the kingdom of heaven, our allegiance, values, and priorities are meant to reflect the King we serve. Jesus calls His people to love God completely and love others genuinely, and those two commitments change everything. The character of a kingdom citizen grows from a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit, producing love, joy, peace, patience, and more. Salvation brings us into the kingdom, but lordship teaches us how to live in it. The question worth sitting with is simple: does your life look like heaven is already your home?
