Psalms 39:12

Hebrews 11:13-16
11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised,
but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners
on the earth.
11:14 For those who speak in such a way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
11:15 In fact, if they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
11:16 But as it is,
they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

and so
he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
