Podcasts about citizenship in heaven

Abraham understood that God had a greater plan for his life, so he learned to shift his focus from the world he could see to the world that was still to come. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Hebrews 11 and the faith of Abraham and the other Old Testament saints. They lived as foreigners and strangers on earth, trusting promises they could only see from a distance because they were “longing for a better country—a heavenly one.” For believers in Jesus Christ, that same eternal perspective changes everything. Through salvation, we have been adopted into God's family, and our ultimate citizenship is no longer rooted in this passing world. The suffering and disappointments of this life cannot compare with the glory God has prepared for His children. Abraham's journey also reminds us that great faith does not mean a failure-free life. He experienced setbacks, detours, and discouragements, but he refused to make those places his permanent home. He kept trusting, growing, and pressing forward because his eyes remained fixed on God's promises and faithfulness. God has prepared an enduring city for everyone who belongs to Christ. Until the day we enter it fully, we can experience a taste of heaven on earth as we worship Jesus, walk by faith, and live each day with eternity in view. Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your gift of salvation. Teach me all I need to know about You and allow me to serve You today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, . . .” (Philippians 3:20). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Scripture tells us that followers of Jesus are citizens of heaven. But what does that mean? How does that relate to our citizenship of our home country and our understanding of the future?

Our Citizenship in Heaven | Philippians 3:17-21 | 062225 by Corey

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 15:19  mark.Every individual is the citizen of a country.  Being a citizen, he or she can claim the rights and protection of that country. Along with the rights come some responsibilities also.  They have to follow the laws of that country.  Some people acquire citizenship in the country they migrate to.  Their citizenship comes with the package of rights and responsibilities too.  God has offered the entire humanity citizenship in heaven.  It comes as a package with rights and responsibilities also.  We have our entire life on earth to prove our qualification for the heavenly citizenship.  As Satan knows this, he tries really hard to block our citizenship in heaven.What are the documents in heaven? -There is a Book in heaven as per Psalm 69:28 and Exodus 32:33, Psalm 139:16, Psalm 56:8, Daniel 7:10, Daniel 12:1, Isaiah 65:6, and Hebrew 12:23.  The Book of Life is mentioned in Philippines 4:3, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 13:8, Revelation 17:8, and Revelation 20:12 and 20:15.  In Revelation 20:12 there is a reference of books other than the Book of Life. How God has made us eligible for the heavenly citizenship and the requirements for that citizenship are discussed. My name...

Our true citizenship is in heaven. Are we willing to choose the Lord over the world?

March 16, 2025. Second Sunday of Lent homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how Jesus gives us a glimpse of the glory to come in heaven. Jesus embraces our suffering and walks with us on the way to the cross, in hopes of the Resurrection to follow.

Our kingdom building must continue; Jesus paid the price

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening, October 12th 1862. Here Spurgeon is preaching during the terrible Civil War. For that reason, he refers to the USA as the 'afflicted nation'. He imagines a citizen of Britain travelling to the USA, and being grateful, at that time, to belong somewhere else.We belong to heaven. This is an immeasurable comfort. Yet let us be aware that we need to be different from the people of this world!Read by: Gavin Childress

Powerful Message by Pastor Blake

Jesus Advises Us on Preparing for Our True Citizenship in Heaven In the first reading, St. Paul delivers a powerful statement. He says, “Our citizenship is in heaven”. This profound assertion suggests that while we live in this world, our ultimate life belongs to heaven. Our existence here is a preparation for that true and eternal citizenship. This perspective does not mean we should withdraw from the world or live as if we are not part of it. Rather, it emphasizes that our earthly life should be oriented towards preparing for our heavenly destiny. St. Paul further explains that when the time comes, God will transform our humble bodies into glorified ones. This means that our current existence will reach its ultimate fulfillment when we enter the true citizenship of heaven. The Dishonest Steward These powerful declarations are coupled with a challenging Gospel passage involving a prodigal steward who squanders his master's wealth. In the story, the steward's mismanagement comes to light, and the master demands an account of his stewardship, ultimately dismissing him. Realizing the gravity of his situation, the steward takes action by renegotiating debts with his master's debtors, reducing what they owe. By doing this, he seeks to secure his future once he loses his position. Surprisingly, the master praises the steward for his shrewdness. This raises an important question: why commend such a seemingly dishonest individual? Jesus does not endorse the steward's deceitful actions. Instead, He highlights the steward's prudence and foresight. What is the lesson Jesus wants to impart? It is a reminder that we should exercise wisdom and spiritual discernment in our lives. Just as the steward took practical steps to prepare for his future, we should act with spiritual prudence to strengthen our relationship with God and prepare for our eternal life.

Blake Lewis talks about Citizenship in Heaven.

Phil 3:20

March 13, 2022. 2nd Sunday in Lent homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how our final destiny is not here on earth but in heaven. God gives the disciples a glimpse of the glory to come with the Transfiguration of Jesus to encourage them for the suffering to come.

As Christians our citizenship is in Heaven. This means that we should not expect this life in the world to satisfy our souls. We can expect suffering and injustice but all of it is outweighed by what awaits us in Heaven with our God of perfect love.
