<p> Hebrews 11:13 (b) This name is applied to the Christian's attitude toward the world. Though he lives in it, he is not a part of it. He is only occupied with its affairs insofar as this is necessary for proper living. The [[Christian]] belongs to Heaven. His hopes and ambitions are for the other world. He is a citizen of GOD's kingdom. The [[Saviour]] explains this fully in His prayer in joh17. (See also1Pe 2:11). </p> | <p> Hebrews 11:13 (b) This name is applied to the Christian's attitude toward the world. Though he lives in it, he is not a part of it.
