Many people are fascinated by the idea of aliens. The thought that there are other sentient species in the universe is intriguing. Of course, fascination with aliens isn’t confined to sci-fi novels and movies. Many people take an active interest in learning about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. And there are even those who believe that aliens exist and might already be on Earth and among us!
Well, the truth is, there are aliens among us! But I’m not talking about aliens that come from outer space. In fact, we should be the aliens among others. In Hebrews 11:13, the Bible says of certain faithful men and women of the Old Testament that they “…acknowledged themselves to be strangers and aliens without fixed abode on earth.”[1]God’s faithful people should recognize this world is not our home—we are temporary residents only. Don’t forget who you are and where you’re going. Our real home is in eternity with our Lord and our God.
