Citizenship in heaven

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body" Philippians 3:20-21. 

If you believe in Christ you are born again and are a citizen of heaven. You have a passport that declares that your homeland is paradise. Of course, you can't see it or touch it or feel it, as your five senses are incapable of understanding this spiritual reality. You can only accept it by faith, the sixth sense. We are both waiting for our Savior to return, and we want to return to our eternal home. When that happens lots of blessing will be awaiting us.

Our bodies will be transformed. They will become immortal, with no sin inside. Heaven is a place of righteousness, joy, and peace. There is no stress there. No hatred. You won't have to worry about your things as there are no thieves there. There is no darkness, no night, but an everlasting day as God is the light of the heaven. And He is your Father. Never lose the hope of heaven. Wonderful things are in store for you in the future. Praise God. 

Live is Christ and Die is Gain

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” Philippians 1:21.

Only a person with deep and unshakable faith can say that. We may affirm to the statement in our minds, but we have to be of strong faith to say that. Paul saw tremendous things that Christ did around him, in him and through him and therefore could say such a radical statement. He saw that his religious zeal prior to coming to Christ led to nowhere, except pain for others. He saw how sinful he was and his desire to be with Christ was natural. Jesus has to become more real than people around us in order for us to say that. But that is possible!
