Other:

            Fellow-citizens of God’s household:

Ephesians 2:19
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,

            We are fellow citizens with all the other believers. We are not alone, and we are not excluded. We are together. We are also of God’s household. We are family. We are one. Do not look down on other believers just because they belong to a different local church. They are a part of us, and we are a part of them - so that others may believe in Him.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:
            "There is no other family but Mine. That is the family to which you belong. It is a glorious family and shall prevail in this life and in the next. You are of this family and shall overcome together. You are not of the family of this world, but are of Mine. It is My pleasure to make you members of My family. It is My pleasure to give you the Kingdom. You have the keys to My Kingdom in your hands. Look to them to overcome the world. What is of Mine, overcomes the world. You are of Mine, and you shall overcome the world.”

            86. I am a fellow citizen with all the saints and am a member of God’s household.

            Yes, it is our destiny to be one with other believers. Most Christians, though, live in a divided community. If others do not believe exactly like we do, we exclude them from our fellowship. We are destined to be one that those around us will desire to come into the Kingdom of God. Then we will all experience the true destiny He has for us.
