Pilgrimage


CategoryTheological Term / Archaic Word
Modern Equivalenta journey to a holy place; the believer's life as a journey toward God.
KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionA journey to a sacred place; more broadly, the whole of life lived as a journey toward God and His eternal city. The patriarchs confessed they were "strangers and pilgrims on the earth" — their true home lay ahead. The NT carries this theme forward: believers are pilgrims and sojourners in a world that is not their final home.
Key Verses"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off... and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." (Hebrews 11:13)
