What does the Bible say about being fellow-citizens with the saints?

Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 2:19 states that through grace, believers are no longer strangers but fellow-citizens with the saints of God.

Ephesians 2:19 affirms that by God's grace, those who have felt His love are integrated into the family of God, becoming fellow-citizens with the saints. This transformation means that we are granted privileges that belong exclusively to the saints, such as redemption through Christ's atonement and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. By being part of the household of God, believers experience a unique relationship with their Creator, grounded in love and shared grace.

The privileges of being fellow-citizens include forgiveness, righteousness, spiritual comfort, and hope for eternal life. Paul powerfully articulates that all things, whether life or death, belong to believers because they belong to Christ. This entails a profound sense of belonging and security for those touched by grace, as they are assured of God's continual support and blessings throughout their earthly journey and into eternity.
