Philippians 1:27 ERV: “Just be sure you live as God’s people in a way that honors the Good News of Christ.”
Paul was writing to the believers in Philippi. Authentic citizenship was a huge thing back then. Paul's Roman Citizenship had gotten him out of more than one jam. And his point here, is that believers are now Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, adopted as sons and daughters into the Holy Family. And as such, their lives should reflect their lineage, as should ours.
Of course the Good News or Gospel is that Jesus arranged for our rescue. He took our sin problem upon himself, and made a way for us to spend eternity in the presence of the Father – That IS Good News for all of us who are citizens of the Kingdom!
I pray that each of us would be a good, patriotic citizen of the Kingdom of God!
Blessings and safety today!
