Dual Citizenship: Keeping Heaven’s Priorities in an Earthly Society
October 27, 2024 • Pastor Josh Weidmann • Philippians 3:20
Heavenly Citizenship + Earthly Responsibility
How do we, as Christians, think about this all?
Should we care about politics, policies, and priorities?
Here are 3 key application points we can put into practice in our daily lives:
1. Prioritize your Heavenly Citizenship
2. Live as Sojourners on Earth
3. Engage with Politics While Remembering Heavenly Citizenship
🔹When we talk about “citizenship in heaven” we mean that Christians, belonging to God’s eternal kingdom, live on earth as representatives of Christ, prioritizing His values, holding an eternal perspective, and embodying a hope that transcends this world.
So until we are home,
We pray for our country and our leaders.
We participate thoughtfully and respectfully in the political process.
We persevere until we are home with Christ, trusting God with the outcomes.
