SCRIPTURE

"For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:" — Philippians 3:20 (ASV)

For our conversation is in heaven;

Can you say that, dear friend? Is your citizenship in heaven? Is your conversation there? Do you often commune with your Lord upon the throne? Judge yourselves whether it is so or not. It is a very poor thing to have a name to be in heaven, and yet never to have any converse with heaven. I wish that we could all say that we talk more to God than we do to men, and have more business upward than we have here below.

From whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

He is coming! He is coming! Are we looking for him? This is the true position of the Christian, looking for the appearing of his Lord.
