Day 4: Citizenship Stamps
John’s readers faced exile, yet he reminded: “You’re from God.” Like embassy seals on passports, the Spirit stamps “Heaven” on reborn hearts. Pilgrims don’t decorate temporary huts—they carry home’s culture.
Dual citizenship breeds tension. Earth’s sirens lure with comfort; heaven’s anthem calls to sacrifice. Daily choices declare allegiance.
What “local custom” have you adopted that clashes with kingdom values? Which of your routines needs a passport check?
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Philippians 3:20, NIV)
Prayer: Repent for one way you’ve blended in with worldly systems this week.
Challenge: Listen to a worship song instead of news during your next commute.
