Do not abuse citizenship freedoms!
1) Ga 5:13.
2) Jn 8:34–36.
3) Matt.

This parable shows us how easy it is when we allow
outside influences to keep us from staying focused on
our ultimate purpose, & goal:
a.
Our ultimate Goal: "To get to heaven."
b.
Our ultimate Purpose: "To live in willful submission to
live in willful submission to God's will."
c.
With proper focus on spiritual citizenship, we can
successfully accomplish our purpose & goal.
A) Our Heavenly Citizenship Is Eternal:

We are citizen's of God's kingdom.
a. Eph.
2:12-13, 19.
(Privileges: Eph.
1:3-6).
2. We are actually citizen's of Heaven.
a. Phil.
3:20.
(we show we are "waiting" by the lives we
lead!)

"we have no lasting city..."

1:17; 1 Pet.
2:11.
This is a temporary situation.
2. This world is ungodly & scheduled for destruction, we
shouldn't cling to it!
a. 1 John 2:15-17.

ramifications!

Store up treasures in heaven, not on
earth.
