| Citizenship |
| My passport is a very important part of my travel accessories. The first thing immigration wants to see when I arrive in another country is proof of citizenship. Some of you may have dual citizenship for one reason or another. Perhaps one of your parents is a citizen of another country other than the one you were born or live in … or you were born in another country from the one your parents are citizens of … etc … etc … |
| There was a man in the Bible who had triple citizenship, the Apostle Paul. He was a Jew by birth — “of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin” (Philippians 3:5). He also had Roman citizenship. “They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans” (Acts 16:37). He was also a citizen of heaven. “For our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20). So he was Jewish, Roman and Heavenly. |
| Most of us will never have dual citizenship as far as two countries here on this earth. But it is vital that we secure heavenly citizenship. God has provided a passport to that “better country” (Hebrews 11:16), through the Lord Jesus and the work of Calvary. That is a passport and citizenship we cannot lose once we have it. |
