Our Citizenship Is In Heaven

Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

Philippians 3:17-21

We see all kinds of people in church, every week. People with financial issues, health issues, issues with their children, issues with alcohol. Our church is for all those people.

The issues we face should remind us of what we live for on earth, but when we get to heaven, our existence will be with our Lord and our God, forever and ever.

Those around us need to hear the words of the gospel. They are looking for believable people, and we are those people they look to.

If we are true to God, we will not be false to God.
