What does the Bible say about our heavenly citizenship?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers have a heavenly citizenship in Christ, as stated in Philippians 3:20.

The Bible emphasizes the concept of heavenly citizenship primarily in Philippians 3:20, where Paul writes, 'For our conversation (or citizenship) is in heaven.' This declaration underscores the believer's dual citizenship; while we reside on earth by natural birth, our true identity and residence are in the heavenly realm due to our union with Christ through salvation. This heavenly status is not only a spiritual truth but also a source of hope, as we await the return of Christ who will transform our earthly bodies to be like His glorious body. This hope of a heavenly home motivates us to live in a manner consistent with our heavenly identity.
