What does the Bible say about being a stranger or foreigner in relation to God?

In Ephesians 2:19, the Apostle Paul reminds us that through faith in Christ, we have been transformed from being strangers and foreigners to becoming fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. This transformation emphasizes the radical change in our relationship with God and His people. Once alienated by sin, we are now brought into a familial relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who reconciles us to Himself and to one another, breaking down the divisions that separated us.
