When you cross boarders into other lands you are asked to present your passport. You do this to let them know your citizenship. Sometimes you don’t need a passport to know where a person is from. You simply can tell by the way they live and conduct themselves. Paul’s challenge to the early Christians was to live in a way that gives their citizenship away. To live right side up is to live as a citizen of heaven.

What does it mean to fear God?
We established that what we fear will control our lives. To fear God is to give him control of our lives and there is no better way to face other fears.
The Fear of God is the answer to our worries - if we trust in God, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..."
Psalm 34:4, 9 "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fear" , "fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him like nothing."
Isaiah 41:10 "so do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
