Citizenship in God’s kingdom

From the July 2012 issue of The Christian Science Journal


What does it mean to be a citizen of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven?

This question came to my thought not long ago, when I found myself captivated by the following idea: “Imagine a kingdom with no borders, no crossing points, where each citizen has an inalienable right to access all the good that a loving Father bestows! Citizenship in God’s kingdom enables each of us to use spiritual, God-bestowed talents that fulfil our deepest aspirations” (Ann Kenrick, “Christ’s Invitation,” The Christian Science Journal, April 2011, p. 53).

I then thought about how Mary Baker Eddy defines Kingdom of Heaven as, “The reign of harmony in divine Science; the realm of unerring, eternal, and omnipotent Mind; the atmosphere of Spirit, where Soul is supreme” (Science and Health, p. 590).
