As heavenly citizens, we not only conduct ourselves personally but we also live together as citizens of heaven. We have the ability to live as proper heavenly citizens because we are united with Christ, we are “in Christ.” As those in Christ, we, together with our fellow citizens, have encouragement, love, fellowship in the Spirit and affection for one another. For us to live as heavenly citizens in Christ, it is crucial for us to see and appreciate that we have been gifted with all these things. This is the mindset that Paul is trying to help the Philippians have. It is the mindset of Christ. With this mindset comes considering others more important than ourselves and setting aside any selfish ambition and concern only for ourselves. This mindset we have in Christ. May this corporate heavenly citizenship be lived out practically among us.
