Seeker Overlay ON
*
Our body is the house in which our spirit lives here on earth .
When that house is destroyed ,
then God will give us another house .
That house is not made by mans hand .
But God made it .
It will last for ever in heaven .
*
While we are in the house we have now ,
we are always crying and wanting to have our house from heaven .
*
When we have moved into it ,
then we are sure that we will never be left without a house .
*
While we are in this house ,
we cry and are troubled .
It is not that we want to move out of this house ,
but we want to move into the other one .
Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live .
*
God is the one who has made us ready for this change .
He has already given us the Spirit .
This is the first part of what we are to receive ,
and it proves that we will get more .
*
So we always feel sure .
While we live in our bodies we are not in our house with the Lord .
We know that .
*
We do not see these things ,
but we believe them .
*
We feel sure that we will want to leave this body and go to live with the Lord .
*
So it does not matter if we are living here or go to live there .
Wherever we are we want to please the Lord .
*
We must all stand before Christ to be judged .
Then we will receive pay .
If we have done well ,
our pay will be good .
If we have not done well ,
our pay will not be good .
must be feared ,
so we try to get people to believe .
God knows what we are and what we do .
And we hope that in your hearts you ,
too ,
know .
