Citizens of Heaven
“But we are citizens of heaven and are eagerly waiting for our Savior to come from there. Our Lord Jesus Christ,” Philippians 3:20.
Our home is heaven where the base of our Kingdom is.
We are temporary residents on earth and are outposts of The Kingdom of God and so represent it on earth.
Our focus should not be on what man made organisations promote such as denominations or similar (which have no counterpart in heaven) but on the work of The Kingdom.
The role of Citizen of The Kingdom is as follows:
He has to obey The King in everything.
He has to defend The Kingdom against those who would harm it.
He has to defend the name of The King.
He has to serve The King.
He has to help others do the work of The Kingdom.
He is to teach those he needs too about The Kingdom.
He has to provide for his family from what The King allows him to have.
He represents The King, if only by being its Citizen.
He has to follow the laws of The Kingdom.
He has to defend the laws of The Kingdom.
These are not the roles of a person in a denomination or Church.
Jesus said before he died what His followers would do and that can be summarised as follows:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations I have risen,
Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in My Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In My Name shall they cast out devils;
They shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents;
And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover,
And, lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
This is not what most denominations and Churches are doing or even teaching.
Satan has managed to replace The Kingdom of God with the denomination and change the focus from the work of The Kingdom to the purposes of the denomination so that only a part of what Jesus desires us to do is done.
There is nothing wrong with a denomination if it does the work Jesus requires a Citizen of His Kingdom to do.
A denomination doing the work of Jesus will work in unity with other Christian groups and not promote its own agenda and not deal casually with other Christian denominations and groups.
It will promote unity of the body and purpose so they all work as a unified whole and their purposes will be those of The Kingdom of God.
They will all work together to do the work of The King and promote Jesus and His Kingdom.
Its people will know their roles in The Kingdom and will be taught by the denomination how to fulfill these roles.
Jesus said:
“If ye love Me, keep My commandments,” John 14:15.
The Christian life is the expression of the love relationship we have with Jesus and The Father (John 17:3).
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent,” John 17:3.
So according to how you try to express your obedience in your Christian life will be the degree you love Jesus and The Father.
If you know to do these things and do not do them or know you need to learn how to do these things and do not bother to learn about them then you are in danger of losing your salvation.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin,” James 4:17.
“1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels,” Revelation 3:1-5.
God expects you to do only what you are able too and not what you or others think you should do.
So you are without any excuse if He tells you to do something and you do not do it. If you do not know how to do something He expects you to learn how to do it and He will help you learn how to do it.
You do not go to hell because you wholeheartedly tried and failed in part or whole. You go to hell because you were able to do them and did not try to do them.
You need to be guided by The Holy Spirit in all you do and act on what He tells you and then you will fulfill God’s requirements of you as you will have done what He asked you too for Him or at least wholeheartedly tried to do it.
