Every believer is a pilgrim. What Abraham experienced when he came to Canaan, is typical for all believers: this world is not our home. David also—although living in a palace—confessed to be a pilgrim. And all the believers of the Old Testament (Hebrews 11:13 and Hebrews 11:39–40 mention them) did not yet receive the fulfillment of the promise because God also wanted to take us as New Testament believers in. That is astonishing. Jesus also promised us that our home is with him and the Father (John 14:1–3). He is preparing a place for us.
13 C'est dans la foi qu'ils sont tous morts, sans avoir obtenu les choses promises; mais ils les ont vues et saluées de loin, reconnaissant qu'ils étaient étrangers et voyageurs sur la terre.
