Perform Your Duties as Citizens of Heaven

Imagine you arrive at work at school only to meet ssomeonenew there.  It's their first day, and as you begin to talk, you ask them where they are from.  

"Beverly Hills", they say.  Does that change the way that you expect them to act?  

What if they say somewhere else?  "Toad Suck, AR"  Ravia, Milburn, OKC, Dallas, London.  We expect people from certain places to act a certain way.  Being from a certain place comes with certain habits, patterns, and more.

What if the person you met said they were a Christian?  How then would you expect them to act? 

In the book of Philippians, Paul says that it's our duty as Christians, our right, our responsibility to act in a certain way.  He says we are to act worthy of the Gospel.

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God. For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, - Phl 1:27-29 NASB

How should you act as Christian?  Live lives that are worthy of the Gospel.  LIve as citizens of heaven.
