What does the Bible say about being strangers and pilgrims on earth?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that believers are strangers and pilgrims, indicating their temporary residency on earth as they look forward to a heavenly city.
The concept of being strangers and pilgrims is grounded in Hebrews 11:13, which declares that believers acknowledge their transient status on earth. This reflects an understanding that this world is polluted by sin, sorrow, and death, and therefore not their ultimate home. The faithful recognize that they are on a journey towards a promised rest, a heavenly city prepared by God for them, as they navigate through the challenges of life.
