The title is not referring to the movie made in 1986 with Ellen Ripley rescuing humanity with awesome firepower; but it is about the nature or identity of Christians in this world. Today we spoke about 1 Peter 1:1-2, where the Apostle Peter refers to the Christians spread throughout the world as 'aliens' or 'strangers' according to other translations.
God's Word challenged us to remember our identity while living in this world. We are not of this world or living for this world, but rather 'seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness' as Jesus commanded in Matthew 6:33. It is important that we remember this truth and commandment. Let's meditate on this truth this week as we go about our daily lives. Our citizenship is first and foremost of the kingdom of God.
