If 2020 showed us anything, it showed us how the world and the things of this world do not last forever. But we are not of this world. We are citizens of heaven. The world is not our home but our mission is to bring people into the kingdom of heaven. We’re already registered as citizens of heaven. our mission is to go into all the world.

PHIL 3:20-21 Our citizenship is referenced in our joint position with Christ in heavenly places! heaven is not our goal, it is our starting point! Our understanding is sourced in a Savior; we fully embrace the Lord Jesus Christ!
21 The salvation that Jesus is the author of, re-fashions these bodies of clay and elevates us to fully participate in the same pattern of his heavenly glory! The severe contradiction that we might often face in the frailty of the flesh, is by far surpassed by the glorious splendor displayed in his human body raised from the dead; according to the working of God’s dynamic power he imprints the mirror pattern of his likeness in us. Thus he subdues all things to himself. MIRROR
