On Sunday, Eric did the third installment for the Dual Citizen series.
We have been diving into Philippians 3:20:
“We are citizens of heaven…”
For this talk we looked at Philippians 1:21:
“To live is Christ, to die is gain”
This one line gives us insight into the mind of a man who realizes his life is not his own. As much as Paul wanted to go be with Jesus in eternity, he recognizes that for him to stay would be more beneficial and that is to see the message of Jesus touch humanity.
As citizens we often want to know what our rights and privileges are, but we often forget we also have responsibilities. Paul introduces the responsibility of a citizen of heaven - which is “humanity”.
Built into our faith is the value for human life. It is one of the unique distinctions of our faith compared to other world religions. The challenge for us is to be a people who not only want access to our rights and privileges but also carry the burden for humanity whether it be doing good to healing the sick.
Listen to the talk to be challenged in your own life to grow in your faith and following Jesus.
