Citizenship

Your nationality

Arabic

When you are born then you become a citizen of the country you are born in.

That entitles you to certain rights as a citizen.

You can receive a passport and you travel under that passport as a citizen of that country.

If you are in a foreign country and you get into trouble then you can contact the embassy of the country that you are from and receive help.

But Christians are citizens of heaven, we are heaven bound.

We may not have reached our destination yet but that is where we are heading to.

We are representatives of the country that we come from.

If I as a Palestinian go to another country and get arrested for fighting in the street then I have disgraced my country.

What are people going to think when they hear the name Palestinian.

“Ah yes trouble maker”.

We are also representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven, So if I am causing trouble everywhere I go then what are people going to think about being a Christian.

It is going to turn people away rather than attract people.

So wherever you go remember that you are a representative of the kingdom of heaven with certain privileges, But also responsibilities.
