As I have often told you before, and now tell you again even with tears

As I have often told you before, and now tell you again even with tears………many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

-Enemies of the cross of Christ. As I have often told you before, and now tell you again even with tears………many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. -Judaizers -Libertines -Enemies of the cross of Christ.

Enemies of the cross of Christ: -Destiny = destruction -God = stomach -Glory = shame -Mind = set on earthly things.

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Col 3:1-4

Our citizenship is in heaven.

Citizenship means “membership in a community” And also: “the quality of an individual's response to membership in a community”

Just as Philippi was a colony of Rome on foreign soil so the church is a colony of heaven still here on earth.

Our citizenship is in heaven.

We eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Phil 3:21

Our citizenship is in heaven. We eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
