....pass the time of your sojourning here in fear  1 Peter 1:17

.....A Christian, if he truly believes, possesses all the good things of God, and is God's child, as we have heard.  But the time which he yet lives is only a pilgrimage:  for the spirit is already in heaven by faith, through which he becomes Lord over all things.  But to this end God permits him yet to live in the flesh, and his body to remain on earth, that he may help others and bring them also to heaven.  Therefore we are to use all things on earth as a guest, who goes on wearily and arrives at an inn where he must tarry over night, and can receive nothing from it but food and lodging; yet does not say that the property of the inn is his.  So must we also proceed in regard to our temporal possessions, as though they were not ours, and we enjoyed only so much of them as is needful to sustain the body, and with the rest we are to help our neighbor.  Thus the Christian life is only a night's sojourning; for we have here no abiding city, but must find it, where our Father is, in heaven.  Therefore we should not here live in wantonness, but stand in fear, says St. Peter.....
