What does it mean to be a citizen of Zion?

Citizenship in Zion reflects an individual’s inclusion in God's universal church, highlighting the grace of belonging to a divine community. The preacher notes that this citizenship is not accidental but ordained by God, ensuring that each believer is vitalized by Christ’s redeeming blood. The metaphor of Zion symbolizes not only spiritual safety and provision but also the relational aspect of Christians living in fellowship under the lordship of Christ. All citizens share the identity that their names are known by God, engraved on the hands of Jesus, reinforcing the bond and unity among those who are elected by grace to eternal life.
