Members of the household of God

“You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.” (Eph 2: 19-20)

Even if we are citizens of particular countries, we have a homeland, a place which is our destination, a place where we are expected. We are God’s children, “members of the household of God,” more at home in His home than at home when we are at our homes. He always looks at us as “fellow citizens,” “the holy ones, members of His household” rather than as “strangers” or “sojourners.”

“Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.”
