STRANGERS

Sometimes we tell our friends, "Don't be a stranger!" but that is exactly what we are. 1 Peter says we are strangers in this world;'This world is not our home, we are just a passin thru'.In Gen. 23:4 Abraham declared he and his family were strangers to the land. In Exodus 2:21-22 Moses names his son: Gershom which means stranger in a strange land.

Being a stranger is a holy calling. You are to become a stranger to your old life, your old sin and your old self. If we are strangers to this world, then this world is not our problem, we need to be concentrating on the heavenly home.
