We're always getting ready for something. We get ready for work, for school,for vacation etc. etc. We spend a lot of time and effort getting ready for temporary things that at most last just a couple of weeks, it seems funny to me that we put so much effort into the temporary. Phil.3vs20 says For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. My thoughts turn to what citizenship means, you see, we belong to a nation that is an eternal a place that will never fade away. This belonging should hold our allegiance our obligation and our joy. We should also understand that our citizenship in Heaven gives us certain rights and priviledges that only the believer has, we are God's adopted children, we belong to Him, we have been given eternal life, the Holy spirit of God has come to dwell in us, He has given us His word and the incredible ability to pray freely before His throne of grace. He has established His church here on this Earth and invited us to worship Him all together as one body.
Our great and awesome God has shown us and given us eternal tools to get us ready for eternal life and we are going to spend eternity with God. Doesn't it make sence that we should spend the greatest portion of our time getting ready to be with Him in our heavenly home. I believe the more time we spend getting ready, the more dedicated to our future home land we will become. The more dedicated we become, the more we realize how important our role is in getting ready for Heaven. After all there are people watching us that have no clue as to how to get there or even if there is a Heaven. They see how we spend our time, money and talent, so what do they see you "GETTING REAY" for.
