The Bible teaches that we should live as Citizens of Heaven. We can live life on earth doing our best and following after Heavenly things. Romans  8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” We should obey God rather than the sinful desires of our flesh or body. In our flesh is sin and no good thing. Sin can keep us from what God has in store for us. Jeremiah 29:11 God tells us He has plans for us to prosper and do well. God wants us to excel and make most of our lives. Sometimes we are prevented from God’s plan by choosing sin over God. Sin divides us from God but Jesus Christ connects us to the Grace of God. The love of God and His promise that He will provide for us is something we should strongly desire. Philippians 4:9, “God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
