Peter is saying you need to understand and remember this is not your home. If you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re a stranger to this world. You are not like them.

• You’re just passing through.
• This is not your final dwelling place.

You’re a heavenly creature, serving a heavenly God passing through this temporary world into an eternal dwelling place where one day you will be with God.

If this world is not your home–you will be different from this world.
