Earthly Tent, Heavenly Home
2 Corinthians 5:1-5
1
We know that when the tent which houses us here on earth is torn down, we have a permanent building from God, a building not made by human hands, to house us in heaven.
2
For in this tent, our earthly body, we groan with desire to have around us the home from heaven that will be ours.
3
With this around us we will not be found naked.
4
Yes, while we are in this body, we groan with the sense of being oppressed: it is not so much that we want to take something off, but rather to put something on over it; so that what must die may be swallowed up by the Life.
5
Moreover, it is God who has prepared us for this very thing, and as a pledge he has given us his Spirit.
