The author of Hebrews reminds us that true faith often means being out of step with the world. We are called to be citizens of a better homeland, recognizing that we are strangers and exiles here. When faced with a culture that opposes God, we must resist the temptation to control the narrative, condemn the lost, hide in safety, or conform to societal pressures.
Instead, we look to the example of Jesus and the faithful saints who went before us. They endured mocking, imprisonment, and death because they sought a future glory that far outweighs any earthly comfort. We are called to be salt and light, loving our enemies and refusing to compromise, knowing that the world is not worthy of those who hold fast to the promises of God.
