What does it mean to have our citizenship in heaven?
Answered in 1 source
Having our citizenship in heaven means that our true home and identity as believers is rooted in the eternal kingdom of God.
The idea of citizenship in heaven encompasses the significant truth that believers are not fundamentally defined by earthly ties, but by their relationship with Christ and their future in His kingdom. Philippians 3:20 articulates this well: 'For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.' This perspective provides comfort and hope amid life's challenges, reminding Christians that their ultimate allegiance is to God. As we live in this world, we are called to reflect the values and character of our heavenly citizenship, being ambassadors for Christ as we serve Him faithfully during our time on earth.
