A Building from God

2 Corinthians 5

If this tent, which is my earthly home, is destroyed, I know I have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. In this tent, I groan, being burdened.

I look forward during this time to being further clothed, so that what is mortal maybe swallowed up by life. God has prepared for me this very thing and given me the Holy Spirit as a guarantee.

So, I am always of good courage. I walked by faith and not by sight. So, whether I am at home or away, my aim is to please God. The love of Christ controls me, because I have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore, all have died.

And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live to themselves, but for him who, for their sake, died and was raised. From now on, therefore, I regard no one according to the flesh.
