  Pastor Robert Young: Today's scripture is coming from the book of 2 Corinthians, chapter 5, verses 1 through 10, where it says, For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

  Pastor Robert Young: Meanwhile, we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
• 0:41
  Pastor Robert Young: For while we are in this tent, we groan in our burden, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

  Pastor Robert Young: Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

  Pastor Robert Young: Therefore, we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord, for we live by faith, not by sight.
• 1:28
  Pastor Robert Young: We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

  Pastor Robert Young: So we make our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

  Pastor Robert Young: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

  Pastor Robert Young: We try to please our Creator while still here, but long for that blessed day to be in His presence and worship for eternity in our new bodies.
