Dual Citizenship

The old radio preacher yelled, “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!”

Nicodemus in his conversation with Jesus was perplexed by this terminology. “How can I be born again” he asked, “can I go back into my mother’s womb?” Of course we know that Jesus told him you are born of the flesh but also must be born of the spirit.

Born of the flesh, conceived in sin,
Then born of the Spirit, new life to begin;
I’ve been washed in Christ’s blood and this will suffice,
Praise God I’m His child, I’ve been born twice! —Brandt

When you are born again, you obtain dual citizenship. Not only are you a citizen of this earth, you also become a citizen of heaven. Pretty cool stuff!
