This helps us understand what St Paul writes about our calling. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:/ According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." (Ep.1:4-5) Our heavenly places are in heaven and we are not to be lumped by the swine of Gadarene whose agenda always has only one direction, headlong into the sea. "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;"(He.13:8). We are angels because all our well springs are in our Savior Lord. We are dead to sin but are alive to God; and are led by the Spirit given to us as an earnest.
"Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach./ For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come./ By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name./ But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."(He.13:13-16)
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,/ Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;"(He.12:1-2)
