Philippians 1:27

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. -Philippians 1:27

Citizens of heaven! If you are a follower of Jesus, then you are a citizen of heaven.

When you meet someone from another country you immediately begin asking them questions about their homeland. Things that you have always been curious about just come spewing out of your mouth. You might ask a German about the AutoBahn, or an Australian about kangaroos. You may have read about these things before but, now you can talk to someone who has experienced them firsthand.

This is how Christians are supposed to be to the world. We are citizens of heaven and we should be able to answer the questions people have about our homeland.

We should also live in a manner that is worthy of our homeland.
Americans get so tired of hearing about one of our people going to a foreign country and acting like a fool. They do something stupid and get on the news, then we look bad.

We, representatives of heaven, need to be mindful of how we make heaven look to other people. If we say that we are a Christian then we act stupid, we know that we have God's grace but it still makes a bad impression on people who are not Christians.

Just something to think about, I hope you all have a great week.
