What does it mean to be fellow citizens with the saints?

Answered in 1 source

Being fellow citizens with the saints means belonging to God's household and sharing in His promises.

Ephesians 2:19 describes believers as fellow citizens with the saints, indicating their inclusion in the family of God. This citizenship signifies not only a change in identity from aliens and strangers to belonging to 'the household of God' but also participating in His divine promises. It highlights the unity among believers, regardless of their backgrounds, as they are all incorporated into one body through Christ’s work of reconciliation, forming a community centered on the gospel.
