1. We know that the earthly tent we live in will be destroyed. But we have a building made by God. It is a house in heaven that lasts forever. Human hands did not build it.
2. During our time on earth we groan. We long to put on our house in heaven as if it were clothing.
3. Then we will not be naked.
4. While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don't want to be naked. We want to be dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.
5. God has made us for that very purpose. He has given us the Holy Spirit as a down payment. The Spirit makes us sure of what is still to come.
6. So here is what we can always be certain about. As long as we are at home in our bodies, we are away from the Lord.
