Living As Strangers - I Peter 1:17

In Philippians 3:29, Paul tells us, "For our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ." The word conversation in this verse has the idea of citizenship. We as Christians are pilgrims here on earth. Our true citizenship is in Heaven. Although we have never yet seen our homeland, we are still none the less citizens of there and are to conduct ourselves as such here in Earth. We must learn to live as a citizens of Heaven.
