new lands

For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, Colossians 1:13 NLT

We se people escaping from their lands because of war, famine and loss of income. We, as Christians,  were in the land of darkness and were rescued by Jesus. We were brought into His kingdom of light and freedom.  We have been saved from a life of sin.

How good it is to be in a land of light and freedom. I have friends who escape from Nigeria where Christians are constantly being killed for their faith. These friends were at first fearful of being sent back because of their visas. Fortunately a university degree ensured that the mother was able to secure a new life for her husband and family by completing a nursing degree.

We do not need to fear being cast out of the kingdom of God. There is nothing that will cause us to lose of citizenship, unless we walk away from it. Just as my Nigerian friends need to live as Australians now, we must live as kingdom believers. Amen!
