Just wanted to share some thoughts of the apostles Paul as he wrote to the church to help us develop in the faith and heavenly hope we are given to turn our eyes from the world to the Lords home prepared for us , please consider what Paul was getting at in your heart
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:1-11 KJV
Instead of reading the Bible as one single verse to be interpreted , and then another to be interpreted and yet another , consider it is the message being communicated that is to be heard and believed upon consider that Paul spoke of grace and also of repentance and righteousness and judgement to come as well
God bless
