Citizens.

For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:18-22 ESV)

A dwelling place for God. That is what we are being built into; a housing for the power and love of Jesus Christ to share with the world. We are so much more with Christ; not rendered worthless as the world may sometimes proclaim but CITIZENS with the heavenly saints above by the blood of Jesus.
