Heavenly Kingdom

Heaven is a Kingdom of itself different then the kingdoms of the world. In Philippians 3:20-21 we are told to live as if we are in the Kingdom of Heaven or Citizens to God’s Kingdom. What does this mean? It means when we accept Jesus we are adopted into the family of God. When God adopts us He makes us His beloved children and heirs of God. Many people are concerned with the things of this world, social status and other things. We sometimes look at people with judgement but Jesus warns us to be compassionate. Instead of trying to be the greatest person in the Kingdom of Heaven or have the greatest things we should simply trust in Jesus and serve others. We are to use our influence as believers and our resources to serve others. The greatest in Heaven are those who humble themselves like a child and are meek. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).
