Citizens of Heaven: Living From a Higher Kingdom

When you came to Yeshua (Jesus), everything about your identity shifted — even your citizenship. You may still walk upon earthly soil, but heaven has become your true homeland. Paul reveals this profound reality when he writes, “Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Yeshua Messiah” (Philippians 3:20). This is not poetic language; it is a legal and spiritual identity. The limitations, systems, or identity markers of this world no longer define you. You belong to another Kingdom — a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, governed by a King who cannot be dethroned, and marked by a glory that cannot fade.

A New Name: Identity Defined by God’s Declaration

All throughout Scripture, when God called someone into a new destiny, He gave them a new name.

Adopted into the Father’s Family: From Orphans to Heirs

And until that longing is resolved, there is often a sense of incompleteness, a struggle to move forward — because to understand where we are going, we must first know where we came from.

Born of the Spirit: Identity Received, Not Achieved

In the kingdom of God, identity is not achieved — it is received. You cannot earn it, perform for it, or inherit it through bloodline or status. It is a gift born from above. Every effort of man to define himself apart from God ends in frustration, but the new birth offers something that no human striving ever could: the life of God implanted within.

The Cross: The Great Exchange!

At the heart of redemption stands the cross — not merely a symbol of suffering, but the place of divine exchange where heaven met humanity. On that hill, everything that separated mankind from God came face-to-face with His holiness and love. Our sin, our shame, our striving, and every false identity we ever carried were nailed there. In that sacred moment, the broken reflection of humanity was exchanged for the radiant image of the Son. As Paul writes, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
