Superior Citizenship

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself." (Philippians 3:20-21 NKJV) Earthly citizenship comes with both rights and responsibilities; but greater interest is placed on the rights of citizenship compared to its responsibilities, which often lead to social disorderliness and recklessness. However, heavenly citizenship demands greater sense of responsibility to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amidst the chaos in the system of this world, there is an undisturbed path of procession for pilgrims to the palace of glory. Earthly citizenship may offer cheap and faster route to wealth and fame, the narrow road for heavenly citizens is superior in terms of its safety and eternal glory.
