Colossians 3:1-3
If then you 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 on the earth.For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Hebrews 11:12-16
Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Micah 2:10

2 Corinthians 4 17-2 Corinthians 5 8
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,while we don’t look 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 tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;for we walk by faith, not by sight.We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
