Strangers in This World

If Heaven is our home, how should we live while we're still here?

In 1 Peter 2:11–12, Peter reminds believers that they are strangers and pilgrims in this world. Because our citizenship is in Heaven, we must be careful not to become attached to the desires and influences that pull us away from God.

Peter calls us to abstain from fleshly desires and maintain honorable conduct among those who do not share our faith. Our lives should provide a visible testimony of God's transforming work, so that even those who speak against us may see our good works and glorify Him.

We may live in this world, but we are not to live like the world.

Does the way we live reflect where our true citizenship belongs?
