In 1 Peter 2:11, the word “pilgrims” in the Greek is “parepidemos” (Strongs 3927), which is a combination of three words: para (alongside of), epi – (upon), demos (people of a foreign country or city).<\/p>\n
The term is defined as (1.) “One who comes from a foreign country into a city or land to reside there by the side of the natives (4.) in the NT metaph. in reference to heaven as the native country, one who sojourns on earth.”<\/p>\n
Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia Of The Bible defines pilgrim as, “One who stays in a place as a stranger or visitor; to describe Christians whose final citizenship is in heaven and who are regarded as temporary dwellers on earth.”<\/p>\n
Brethren and friends, with reference to life on this earth, we are merely strangers and pilgrims (Hebrews 11:13-16), just passing through on a temporary visa, and we dare not allow earthly lusts to take control or win the battle for our souls (1 Peter 2:11-12; cf. Psalm 39:7-13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
