What does the Bible say about citizenship in heaven?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are citizens of heaven, meaning our true home and identity are rooted in Christ rather than the world.

In Philippians 3:20-21, Paul emphasizes that our citizenship is in heaven, indicating that believers belong to a spiritual kingdom, living here as representatives of that kingdom. This concept of citizenship reflects our identity in Christ, where we partake in the grace and glory of God, and anticipate the day when Christ will transform our bodies to be like His glorious body. The understanding that we are citizens of heaven encourages us to live in this world with a perspective focused on eternal truths, pressing toward the mark of our calling in Christ.
