Genesis 18:1-33; Job 21:1-34; Matthew 10:1-23
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20 NKJV
Certain personal characteristics, cultural distinctives, and conversation patterns often reveal one’s heritage. It should be the same for believers as citizens of heaven. In Philippians 4 we read of some of these traits. We are to stand fast, display unity and fellowship with other believers. We should rejoice in the Lord, be gentle in dealing with others, and not be anxious. Our conversation should be marked by thankfulness; our conduct like that of the Lord Jesus, and we should be content. If these features characterize us, others will recognize our citizenship is not of this world.—Gary McBride
To be like Jesus! My desire to be like Him!
All thru life’s journey, from earth to glory,
My desire to be like Him. —Author Unknown
