"If you were of the world,
the world would love its own;
but because you are not of the world,
but I chose you out of the world,
because of this the world hates you."-John 15:19
Children of God (see Romans 8:16), the elect (seeRomans 8:33), sons of God (see Romans 8:14), witnesses (see Acts 1:8), a royal priesthood and holy nation (see 1 Peter 2:9). These are just a few of the significant names synonymous with those who choose to submit their lives to God and follow Jesus Christ.
There is another name however, yet mentioned. And it is one with which the true disciple of Jesus must become intimately familiar,
"Beloved, I urge you as aliens
and strangers to abstain from
fleshly lusts which wage war
against the soul!
-1 Peter 2:11, bold mine
Yes, "alien." Taken from the Greek word paroikos, "alien" can rightly be translated "non-citizen." Indeed,the Bible tells us that the disciple's true citizenship is in Heaven (see Philippians 3:20). While on earth the follower of Christ is likened to that of an alien. A stranger. A foreigner from another land.
More tomorrow.
