What does the Bible say about heavenly citizenship?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible speaks of heavenly citizenship in Philippians 3:20-21, indicating that believers are citizens of heaven, awaiting the Savior.

In Philippians 3:20-21, the Apostle Paul reminds believers that their citizenship is in heaven, from where they eagerly await the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. This heavenly citizenship reflects the spiritual reality of believers as they are fundamentally different from the world around them. They possess a new identity, rooted in their relationship with Christ, who made them fellow citizens with the saints. This promise holds profound significance, as it emphasizes that salvation and all its benefits are reserved for God's elect, the ones chosen for redemption before the foundation of the world.
