August 7, 2022 - Kingdom Civics

“Our citizenship is in heaven.” ~Philippians 3:20

The apostle Paul intentionally uses political language, the very Greek words from which we get our English words “politics” and “politicians,” to drive home a very important point.

Our citizenship is in heaven. Our allegiance is to the Kingdom of God. We’re not from around here. We have different laws and customs, different priorities and values, different ways to take care of people. We are subject to a different King. Heaven is our homeland. And while we’re here on earth, we are a colony, a commonwealth, of heavenly citizens.
