Bible Verse The World Is Not Our Home

Dear friends, I have something to share with you: this world is not our home. If you found this message helpful, please share it with others.

The Bible explains that we are here temporarily and that home with God is actually in heaven. This is something that can be comforting and peaceful to know, especially when life seems difficult. When we face problems or we feel like we are unworthy on earth, we can take comfort in the fact that hard times are not permanent.

As Christians, we are commanded to live as strangers and pilgrims on earth. This means not clinging so tightly to what we have or our position on earth, but rather to be close to God and to think about helping others. We should strive hard to maintain what God has given us, but never forget that our real treasure is in heaven.

As long as we are on this earth, we must work. We must work hard, take care of our families, and be good citizens. But always in the back of our minds, we need to remember our home in heaven and make sure that everything we do is God’s will and to glorify Him.

As we prepare for our home in heaven, let us strengthen one another in faith. Let us read the Bible, pray together, and serve the poor. By demonstrating our faith through works, we not only prepare for heaven but also spread God’s light on earth.

Dear friends, please read the following Bible verses that declare ‘the World is not our home’.
