To be a kingdom citizen is to be legally recognized as a member and resident of God's kingdom. In God's kingdom, the only access to citizenship is by birth which only comes on he platform of letting go of the old man and accepting the new man made available by the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ. There is a need to have a deep understanding of how this citizenship was made available and how we can gain access to it.
