Have you ever met someone who looked, talked or dressed differently from everyone else? When you asked, you found out that they were strangers from another country. Where they came from, they looked, talked and dressed in a manner different than you.
The Bible tells us that a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is a stranger in this world. The Lord Jesus said, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:1616They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:16)). If you are saved, Christ is your life and heaven is your home. If we want to please the Lord, our behavior is different from those who don’t. Perhaps you’ve suspected someone was a believer just by the way they talked or looked. The Lord Jesus talked in such a manner that officers said, “Never man spake like this man” (John 7:4646The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. (John 7:46)). The Apostle Peter wrote a letter to believers whom he called “strangers and pilgrims.” They were strangers to the world now that they were saved for heaven. May the Lord help us to live as He lived in a world of sin.
