REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU BELONG

Phil. 3: 18-20 “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” (kjv)

Tears flooded her eyes, then ran down the young woman’s cheeks as she begged her husband not to leave, “This is your home, not over there with her!”

“I’ve got it and I’ll flaunt it, because I’m HOT!” the young girl screamed at her father when he pleaded with her to put on more clothes and cover herself. With the fear that her world would be crushed by some boy who didn’t care, he said, “This is not who you are!”

“When you’re around your friends, you are so rude and arrogant. All you think about is that car!” The mother told her rebellious son.

Why do we find it so easy to satisfy the fleshly desires? Why do we take such glory and pride in things that reveal our shame? Why do we place such importance on the things of this world? Perhaps, it is because we find it so easy to forget who we are and where we belong.

Remember who you are, and where you’re from, “For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:”
