2 Corinthians 5:1-10 – 1 Now 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. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 We live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Incredible verses. Read them again.
It’s how were supposed to live. This body is going to grow older and die. It’s inevitable.
We need to make it our goal everyday to please Him! If we made it our goal to read the Bible, learn it, and try to please the Lord, we would be heading in the right direction in our walk.
Just like verse ten says were going to receive what’s due to each one of us, good or bad. That doesn’t sound like a God that really just wants you to find salvation and they just do what your heart desires. That sounds like a God that wants you to find Him and then when you do, serve Him with your life, don’t serve yourself.
