where I go you know, and the way you know

Point—It Is HOME!
(2 Corinthians 5:1-8

Corinthians 5:1-8
For
we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens
. For
in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven
, if
indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked
. For
we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life
. Now
He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee
. So
we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord
. For
we walk by faith, not by sight
. We
are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be
present with the Lord
.
