We are visitors on Earth.

 Amen. That is a profoundly true and biblical perspective. To say, "We are visitors on earth" is to recognize our true citizenship and eternal home, which is in heaven with God. This world is not our final destination; we are just passing through.

This truth is clearly taught in Scripture:

"Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul." - 1 Peter 2:11 (ESV)

"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." - Philippians 3:20 (ESV)

"For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." - Hebrews 13:14 (ESV)

What Does It Mean to Be a Visitor on Earth?

This mindset changes how we live:

· We Live with Purpose: As visitors, our primary purpose is to represent our true King and His kingdom, sharing His love and truth with others.

· We Hold Things Loosely: We don't become overly attached to material possessions, temporary successes, or the values of this world, because we know they are not permanent.

· We Long for Home: We live with an eternal perspective, anticipating the joy of being with our Lord in our true, everlasting home.

· We Navigate Differently: We use God's Word as our map and the Holy Spirit as our guide, since we are in a foreign land.

A Prayer for a Visitor on Earth

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the reminder that this earth is not my home. I am a visitor here, an ambassador for Your kingdom, and a citizen of heaven.

Help me to live like it. Prevent me from becoming too comfortable or entangled in the values and systems of this temporary world. Give me a heart that longs for my eternal home with You.

As I journey through this life, help me to represent You well. Let my words, actions, and love point others to Jesus. Keep my eyes fixed on You, and help me to hold everything in this world with an open hand, knowing that it is all temporary.

Thank You for the promise of an eternal home where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or sin. I look forward to being with You forever.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Poem: "Visitors on Earth"

"Visitors on Earth"

We are but visitors, passing through, This world is not our home,it's true. Our citizenship is up above, Secured by God's redeeming love.

We speak a different mother tongue, We are both weak and yet we're strong. We look for a celestial city, And live by heaven's grace and pity.

We are not here to build a name, Or play the world's fleeting game. We are to love,to serve, to tell, Of One who saves from sin and hell.

So let us travel, heaven-bound, On this temporary ground. And may our lives and words thus be, A signpost to eternity.

We are visitors, just passing through, Our home is bright,and ever new. So let us journey,let us roam, Until the Father calls us home.

May this truth free you from anxiety about worldly matters and fill you with purpose and hope. You are just visiting; your real, glorious, and eternal home is waiting for you.
