Our Citizenship is in Heaven...
Ok I am at work... but I'm just waiting for a phone call so I can overnight a check to them...then I'm outta here...whoot whoot! Anyway this verse came to me today... I'll have to use E-Sword since I lost my Bible at bible school..go figure...
Philippians 3:1-3
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
Philippians 3:13-14
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:18-21
For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 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.

Our Citizenship in is heaven...not here!!! We do not belong to/in this world! So why do we so desperatly try to fit in with this world?? We are supposed to set our minds on heaven!
Colossions 3:1-3
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

We as believers in Jesus Christ do NOT and should NOT fit in with this world! We don't belong here!!! Praise God! I don't know about you..but this verse makes me so happy! It's good to be different! We should be different from the world we live in!!
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
