Cash in on the Bank of Heaven - #10 Citizen

You are right now...
a citizen, which means you have a say in what Father does next.

If I were to tell you I am remodeling my kitchen and ask you to sand down the cabinets you would have a say in how to do that task. Your skills would decide which sandpaper to use first, the direction of the sanding, and many other such decisions. But, you could not come up to me and say, 'I don't think we should remodel the kitchen'.

God has declared what He is up to. He is reconciling the world to Himself and has given us the task of co-reconciling. (2 Corinthians 5:19-20) Now you are free to reconcile but you don't have the right to declare God is no longer reconciling the world to Himself. You are a citizen because you are in the Citizen of all citizens doing what He is still doing. He, in His new body, we who believe, is still reconciling the world to Himself.

So, if your excluding people you are not a citizen. If you are bidding all to come to trust Christ, Who has accomplished your every need, you are, right now, by the acts of another reconciled. Equally, you are a citizen cashing in on the Bank of Heaven.
