Advancing Kingdom Citizenship

In many countries, a foreigner can become a citizen through the process of naturalization. The privilege of citizenship requires allegiance to the land which one is seeking to become a citizen. Persons who are hoping to become citizens of a particular country have feelings of loyalty and love for it, as well as interest in the benefits they will receive as citizens. If citizenship is granted, the individual becomes entitled to the country's protection and privileges. The hope of citizenship and the process of citizenship are two entirely different things. One's faith and aspiration may be high and even noble, but if they do not follow the process, then the reality of becoming a citizen of a particular country can be forfeited.Further, understanding the process of citizenship is not always straightforward, so sometimes it will require hiring a knowledgeable professional to help one's citizenship dream to come through. There is a similarity between earthly citizenship and heavenly citizenship. Though many are hopeful of heaven, only those who adhere to the process of the Kingdom of God will become citizens. Salvation is Christ's way into God's Kingdom. It brings several essential responsibilities, and it lifts us beyond the realm of the earth to a position of authority and victory in Christ. This highly esteemed position as Kingdom Citizens exposes us to many exclusive, extraordinary benefits of the Kingdom of God. Advancing Kingdom Citizenship seeks to define, explain and elaborate the basis, responsibilities, and advantages of our Kingdom citizenship, and how we can usher in the Kingdom of God on the earth through Christian service.
