Fellow Citizens in the House of God
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. --But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect...
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself...Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.
Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
(Eph 2:19) (Heb 12:22-23) (Heb 11:13) (Php 3:20-21) (Col 1:12-13) (1Pe 2:11) sbagster
