Disciple: Living as citizens of heaven

1st Peter 2:11 | Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.

  • What does 1st Peter mean when it calls God’s followers ‘temporary residents and foreigners’?

  • Why is it important for disciples to remember that this world is not their home? 

  • Since this world isn’t our home, we should stay away from worldly desires. What does this mean? 

    • How do worldly desires ‘wage war against your soul’? 

    • Do you ‘keep away’ from worldly desires? In what ways or what do you need to change?
