Rights of Citizenship
“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son…” (Colossians 1:13)
In the domain of darkness, the devil has dominion. That is both a tongue-twister and a sobering truth. You are either under Satan’s thumb, or you are a citizen of Jesus’ kingdom. There is no third option for mankind.
With citizenship comes rights which do not belong to the foreigners of the darkness: the right to forgiveness, the right to bear His name, and the right to hope, just to name a few. With citizenship in Christ’s kingdom comes belonging and worth. We may dwell as strangers and pilgrims in this foreign, broken land right now, but our citizenship cannot be revoked. Mansions await, and the King watches over us through this mortal age.
As citizens of heaven, we are ambassadors of His kingdom – proclaiming the goodness of the King who will return. This world is not our home, but our home is laid up in heaven.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
