March 13 – With Christ: Citizens of Heaven. Without Him: Enemies of the Cross

For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:18-21

God’s free gift through Jesus Christ is forgiveness and eternal life in heaven; a citizenship in heaven Paul taught. Without faith in Christ sinners are not citizens of heaven but “enemies of the cross.” This is a hard saying of the judgment of God’s Law; but Jesus overcame our sins in His suffering and death, taking our punishment upon Himself, and granting His forgiveness and peace.
