Summary
And so where we're going to look is we're going to find out where our true citizenship is. So we're going to begin in Philippians chapter 3 with verses 18 and 19 where Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote, for many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. But what happens when we become the ones who find ourselves focusing on some worldly things and find ourselves concerned with matters of the world, then we find ourselves slipping into despair, into hopelessness. You can read in John the gospel of John chapter 17, he says, I have given them your word and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world. We are to imitate Paul in His want and desire to know Christ and the righteousness that was one for Him by Christ, the righteousness that was one and given to all of us. But in every encounter, it's an opportunity to share the righteousness of Christ, to point to the glory of God, imitate Paul in knowing the righteousness that has been given to you in Christ by Christ.
