In the first two chapters of 1 Peter; He tells us over and over to live as strangers in this world. And not to give in to the temptations of our flesh and its desire to love the things of this world. The Greek word used for 'strangers' translated means to live a temporary existence among foreigners. Jesus tells us that this world is a vapor that disappears like the morning dew.
If this world is temporary and merely a preparation for the next. Why do we live as this is the only existence that matters and the one God has prepared for us doesn't yet? If we believe God, and live as if we believed God... then we would live our lives here as soldiers engaged in the war that rages continuously around us. Instead of tourists on vacation!
