Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
-
Colossians 3:1-3
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Hebrews 12:22
but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,
-
Hebrews 11:12-16
wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea- shore, innumerable.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.

By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Micah 2:10
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting- place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.

2 Corinthians 4 17-2 Corinthians 5 8
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.Being therefore always of good courage, and 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 of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
