“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 3:20
“We are a colony of heaven.” James Moffat
“I heard one man say that he did not understand how any Christian could possibly be a Conservative. But I heard another say that he really did not understand how any Christian could possibly be a Socialist. The fact of the matter is that both are wrong; any attempt to equate the teaching of the New Testament with any one of the political parties, or any other party, is to do violence to the teaching of Christ. The Christian, by definition, does not get excited about these things; he rides very loosely to them because heaven is his home.” D. M. Lloyd-Jones
“ A Christian is a man who is passing through this world. That does not mean that he despises it, for it is God’s world; and we should see the marks of God’s handiwork in the world..... Nevertheless, we as Christians know that, though this is God’s world, it is a fallen world; we know that sin has entered into it, and therefore, though it is still God’s world, it can be dangerous to us.” Lloyd-Jones
Colossians 3:2, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
“ The Christian relationship to the world is, that he realizes it is God’s world, and he can enjoy it and all that God has him in and through it; but he never sets his affection upon it.” Lloyd-Jones
