"Of the posterity of Abraham it is written, “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Verse 13 . We must dwell as pilgrims and strangers here if we would gain “a better country, that is, an heavenly.” Verse 16 . Those who are children of Abraham will be seeking the city which he looked for, “whose builder and maker is God.” PP 170.2"
