The Everyday Sabbath

A dual citizen for now.

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Phil. 3:20–21

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

​

On the 4th of July we celebrate freedom with parades, BBQs, and fireworks. It's a privilege to live in a nation that allows us great freedom.

But Paul reminds us that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven. Earthly nations change, but Christ rules forever.

One day, believers from every place and every age will be united in his eternal kingdom—greater than anything we’ve ever known.

What does earthly freedom mean for you today? What makes spiritual freedom in Christ greater than any freedom a nation can offer?

1 Cor. 2:14–16 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for,“Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”But we have the mind of Christ. Read the context God's word is truth. It proclaims his plan and...

Hosea 3:1 The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods..." Read the context The Prophet Hosea's wife was unfaithful. But God told Hosea to reconcile with her. Why? It would be an illustration for us of God's love: Our sin is faithlessness. Our rebellion shows our love for anything but God. We are an unfaithful spouse to God. Yet his love does not...
