Pilgrim in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Christians are sometimes referred to as strangers or pilgrims in this world, in the sense that a Christ-follower is fundamentally out of place in a world of sin and darkness. But in the course of their journey through this world, Christians are cautioned not to conform to the wickedness they see around them.

Strangers in the Bible - a Christian perspective
We're not to hesitate to help or extend hospitality to strangers--for sometimes the strangers we're helping turn out to have been sent by God. We never know through whom God will speak to our lives, so we shouldn't ever turn down an opportunity to serve.

Alien - a Christian perspective
Christ-followers are "aliens" in this world--they may live here, but they are fundamentally different from the people and values around them due to their faith in Christ. Christians are to live in the culture that surrounds us, but not be assimilated into it.
