The Kingdom of God PII

Book: 1 Peter

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-10

When we talk about citizenship, we are at some level also talking about our identity. Our citizenship plays a role in shaping who we are, what we value, what is important to us, and how we live. Since as believers we are citizens of God’s kingdom, that reality should shape the way that we live as sojourners and exiles in this world. All nations, including kingdoms, have citizens.  All nations require immigration status.  The Kingdom of God is no different.  Every Kingdom Citizen today is a naturalized citizen.  We emigrated from a foreign country, a “dominion of darkness”.
