Lasting Citizenship

We see three distinct themes in this text — (1) discipleship, (2), the path of the unrighteous, and (3) citizenship. All of these things work together. As we move towards the goal of Christ we are to imitate those who are more mature in the faith, mindful of those around us who lead us astray, and with a mindset that we do not belong to this world. We belong to another world altogether. We are sojourners in this place and true citizenship is with Christ.
