Our Heavenly Dwelling---2 CORINTHIANS 5 1-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. 2-For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3-if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4-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. 5-Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6-So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7-For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8-We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 9-Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 i For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, j that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
