God does not want Americans. He wants people to repent and come to Him...
Born again believers are living here for but a brief period of eternity. Our citizenship is in heaven and no where else. We are here on a mission to save souls. That's what the Father wants so that is what we want.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Philippians 3:20-21
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hebrews 13:14
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,1 Peter 1:4
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Ephesians 2:19
God does not want just Americans. He wants all people to repent and come to Him; regardless of their earthly citizenship...Your citizenship in America does not make you a Christian. A non-Christian nation cannot save you, only the blood of Jesus Christ can!
We need to, as true believers, have the same desire as God does and that is to seek and save the lost while there is still time to do so.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:9-10
And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 22-23
