Becoming a Christian makes us citizens of Heaven. Though we still live in this world, our true home is above, where Christ is!

 

Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 

~Colossians 3:1 

We need to remember that becoming a Christian makes us citizens of Heaven. Though we still live in this world, our true home is above, where Christ is. Living for things of this world are mute. None of that is important. We are here for God's plan and purpose, to do His will, to seek His wisdom. We need to learn to live for Heaven as our number one priority, not for things of this world, not for money, fame, titles, gold, power, material good, sex, drugs, liquor, anything of this world! 

The Mornings With God App today said, "Every Christian should have an upward focus. If we believe in Christ, we are united with Him, and so Paul says, “Since you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is.” Becoming a Christian makes us citizens of heaven. Though we still live in this world, our true home is above, where Christ is. The joy and life of heaven should be our joy and life. “Your life is hidden with Christ in God.” This means we are safe in Christ and that our strength and help come from Him. Our hearts and minds should be drawn away from earthly things toward heavenly things. We should live for what is above. Our minds should be set on heavenly things, not on the things of this earth. While we remain here for a time, we are on our way to heaven, where we will live forever." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/august/19

Like it says above, we need to learn that our hearts and minds should be drawn away from earthly things toward heavenly things. We should live for what is above. Our minds should be set on heavenly things, not on the things of this earth. Stop seeking power, money, land, luxury items, control, don't be slaves for Satan, doing greedy, corrupt, fraudulent, and selfish things for things of this world. Do all so that you can get into Heaven to spend eternity with Jesus Christ. What really matters to you? I hope you are enjoying this blog. Share it with others. Be a disciple for Christ, that is what God wants us to do, to share Jesus, to follow, reflect, imitate, forgive, and love like Him, to make getting into Heaven our number one priority!
