Eph 2: 19
You are no longer foreigners and
strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people.
In this jet
age, many of our young people and some who are not so young often choose to
migrate over to greener pastures in foreign lands. This can be for economic reasons
like the young professionals who are seeking better job opportunities, working
conditions, family etc.
Having done
so they will soon settle in and be assimilated into the society as either PR or
citizens. Anyway they will begin to enjoy the country and all the privileges as
citizens of the new country.
This is what
Paul is telling us, we as believers have also become full citizens with other
believers in the Kingdom of Heaven. Scriptures also tell us that now we are
joint heirs with Jesus Christ and we are now princes and princesses in the
Kingdom of God. We now can enjoy every rights as citizen of heaven.
Therefore we
are no longer strangers to the kingdom in heaven, and as citizens we are
entitled to full rights and privileges which we can start enjoying. We are now
part of God’s global family and we should look after and care for each other as
such.
