Text Philippians 3:18-21 Title: Saints with Citizenship
1>Look at how to acquire heavenly citizenship.
Among the conditions for U.S. citizenship, you must first have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years. A spouse who is married to a U.S. citizen and received a green card becomes eligible to apply for citizenship in as little as three years. To apply for US citizenship, you must be able to read, write, and speak English. Of course, this is not the only qualification. There are several conditions attached to it. To become a US citizen means to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. To have heavenly citizenship means to be a citizen of heaven.
1: We must lead the church life right away.
This means that we must live the life of faith immediately. This is an obligation. You must be diligent and devoted to all worship. You must complete the holy water on Sundays. We must be thorough in our tithing life. You must stop drinking and smoking. We must give our all to the work of the church to be obedient, faithful, and devoted. This is what the church life is all about. Getting the church life right is like receiving the trials in the wilderness well. The Israelites failed at the refinement in the wilderness. Those who failed at the refinement in the wilderness could not enter Canaan. For believers, church life is important. This is because the church life has meaning as members in the body of the Lord. Therefore, we should focus on doing what the Lord wants, as each member of the body moves according to what I am comfortable with and what I think.
2: You must be born again.
(John 3:3) Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus, who was listening to this, did not understand and asked a question. Do I have to enter the second mother's womb? asks. What Jesus was born of is flesh. It is said that being born of the spirit is a spirit, and even if you are born again in the flesh, it is said to be flesh. And what did you say? (John 3:5) He said that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. To be born again is water and the Spirit.
