If you are a spiritual citizen of New Jerusalem, your attitude will not change when you move to a new location 📍 on Earth. Your character in Christ will only grow and not be compromised.

Zion and New Jerusalem are the eternal abode of God and His faithful. This spiritual dwelling is found in the heart of the faithful today before they enter eternity.

The doctrines and instructions God leads us into the standards we live in no matter where we travel.

You cannot be one thing in Canada and another in the United States of America. Then, another in China or Africa.

Your character or values will remain the same.

Those proud of their nation often represent their culture in their interactions in another country. They love to hold onto their culture no matter where they go. While they adjust with people locally, they do not compromise their values for the same local culture.

Common interests shared without crossing personal lines is a decent way of life.

The practicality of this truth is not as simple as it sounds. As we traverse destinations and as nations mix cultures, standing for the truth of Christ is a challenge.

Israel failed because they mixed with other cultures. Be warned as you pursue earthly needs. Only God's word is eternal. Do not let temporary needs compromise your eternal vision.

Maranatha, praise God and amen.
