Fellowcitizens

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God. Ephesians 2:19
Bread Box 7/26/10

Do you ever felt like a "stranger" on this earth
sometimes? The good news is "Now you who are not
Jewish are not foreigners or strangers any longer,
but citizens together with God's holy people. You
belong to God's family" Eph. 2:19 (ncv).

The word "saints" means a people set apart to God.
The word "fellowcitizens" means a people being built
into a new nation under God. Abraham, the founder of
faith looked for a city whose builder and maker is
God (Heb.11:9-10).

Glorious news: Jesus Christ has brought us to God.
We are now fellowcitizens with all of God's people.
We now have a home and all the rights of citizenship
in God's kingdom. What a future we have in Christ!

Song: O, I Want to See Him.
O, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, home at last,
Ever to rejoice.
(R. H. Cornelius)

Trust the Lord today!
