Kingdom of God Citizenship
"No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." John 3:3
Why?
The Kingdom of God is a divine government made up of citizens who have been spiritually born into it through the process of a new birth or being “born again” (John 3:3).
Just as natural birth in a country grants a person legal rights, protections, and privileges by birthright, so does spiritual birth in God's Kingdom. When a person accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, they are reborn into the Kingdom and granted full legal and covenantal privileges as sons and daughters of God.
​
Becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of God is not like applying for citizenship in an earthly nation. In the natural, countries often require a lengthy and costly process involving background checks, interviews, legal paperwork, and years of waiting.
Not so in God's Kingdom! Citizenship is a FREE gift from God made available to "whosoever" through faith in His Son, Jesus the Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9). There is no fee, no background check, and no waiting list. The only "application" needed is to apply the blood of Jesus (Ephesians 1:7) to your life through faith by believing in your heart and openly saying with your mouth (confess) that Jesus is the Son of God, who was sacrificed for your sins, and whom God raised from the dead.
Remember, Jesus preached and taught God's Kingdom...not church, religion or opinions!
Matthew 4:23, 9:35 & 13:11; Mark 1:14-15; Luke 8:1 & 9:2; John 3:16
How to Become a Kingdom Citizen
a Sinner’s Prayer of Repentance
(Romans 10:9-10)
God,
I come to You today acknowledging that I am a sinner in need of Your saving grace.
I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. I repent of all my sins and ask You to forgive me.
Lord Jesus, I invite You into my heart to be my Lord and Savior.
I apply Your precious blood to my life right now. Make me a new creation, born again by Your Spirit. I receive Your free gift of salvation and claim my citizenship in Your Kingdom today.
Thank You, Lord, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
