David Hill: [00:00:00] Ever known anyone who held dual citizenship? A citizen in two countries. Hi, David Hill. Got a minute? The Christian holds dual citizenship in two kingdoms: an earthly kingdom and the heavenly kingdom. Earthly government was designed by God. He raises up and tears down whom he chooses (Daniel 4:17) and says earthly rulers are His ministers (Romans 13:4). A Christian is to be a legal citizen here on earth, that's right, obeying the laws of the land. God established a heavenly kingdom. It was referenced in prophecy (Daniel 2:44), and Jesus said some alive then would see the kingdom come with power (Mark 9:1) —and they did on Pentecost Day, in Acts 2. You see that the church and the kingdom are the same (Matthew 16:18-19). And when those on the day of Pentecost obeyed the gospel of Christ, washing their sins away in baptism, Jesus made them citizens of the heavenly kingdom [00:01:00] (Acts 2:47). The very same thing He does today. Are you a citizen of the heavenly kingdom? Dual citizenship while here on earth, but the saved have an eternal citizenship in heaven. That's good news.
