Citizenship — Part Two

by Alistair Begg

Philippians 3:17–4:1
 (ID: 3305)

By birth or naturalization, Christians are the citizens of many nations and are obligated to submit to the authorities that God has put in place. By adoption and new birth, however, we are citizens of God’s kingdom. Alistair Begg encourages us to remember that our citizenship on earth is temporary and fleeting, but our citizenship in heaven is fixed on the reliable promises of God. Because Jesus has triumphed, we can face the future with steadfast certainty that when He returns, we will be gloriously transformed.

Philippians 3:17–21

17Brothers, ujoin in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk vaccording to the example you have in us. 18For wmany, of whom I have often told you and now tell you xeven with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19yTheir end is destruction, ztheir god is their belly, and athey glory in their shame, with bminds set on earthly things. 20But cour citizenship is in heaven, and dfrom it we eawait a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who will transform four lowly body gto be like his glorious body, hby the power that enables him even ito subject all things to himself.

Philippians 4:1–1

1Therefore, my brothers,1 whom I love and jlong for, kmy joy and lcrown, mstand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
