Hebrews 11:12-16
Therefore, from one man— in fact, from one as good as dead— came offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and as innumerable as the grains of sand along the seashore.These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.If they were thinking about where they came from, they would have had an opportunity to return.But they now desire a better place— a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

2 Corinthians 4 17-2 Corinthians 5 8
For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory.So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.For we know that if our earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal dwelling in the heavens, not made with hands.Indeed, we groan in this tent, desiring to put on our heavenly dwelling,since, when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.Indeed, we groan while we are in this tent, burdened as we are, because we do not want to be unclothed but clothed, so that mortality may be swallowed up by life.Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.So we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.For we walk by faith, not by sight.In fact, we are confident, and we would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
