What does it mean to be a citizen of the heavenly kingdom?

Answered in 1 source

Being a citizen of the heavenly kingdom means that believers are spiritually born into God's family and granted eternal life in Christ (Philippians 3:20).

In Philippians 3:20, Paul notes, 'For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.' This indicates that true believers belong to a heavenly kingdom, having been born again into that realm. Their identity and hope are secured by their relationship with Christ, which transcends earthly citizenship or status. This citizenship includes the assurance of eternal life and the promise of being heirs with Christ in the fullness of the kingdom. As such, it is a status afforded solely by God's grace, emphasizing that we did not earn our entry but were divinely appointed to belong to His family.
