Why is it important for Christians to live as pilgrims and strangers in the world?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to live as pilgrims and strangers, recognizing that their true home is in heaven and not in earthly possessions.

In Romans 13:11, believers are reminded that their salvation is nearer than when they first believed, urging them to cast off the works of darkness. This emphasizes that Christians, as pilgrims and strangers, are to maintain a mindset focused on eternal truths rather than temporal possessions. The sermon illustrates this with the example of Moses, who chose to forsake the riches of Egypt for greater treasures in Christ (Hebrews 11:24-26). Understanding our status as strangers in this world cultivates a longing for the eternal city and helps believers navigate life's challenges by relying on God’s promises.
