I. vv. 1-5 Our Temporary Existence In Christ We are convinced that even if these bodies we live in are folded up at death like tents, we will still have a God-built home that no human hands have built, which will last forever in the heavenly realm. 2 We inwardly sigh as we live in these physical “tents,” longing to put on a new body for our life in heaven, 3 in the belief that once we put on our new “clothing” we won’t find ourselves “naked.” 4 So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by eternal life. 5 And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee. ~2 Corinthians 5:1-5 TPT Ephesians 1:11-14 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 1 John 3:2 II. vv. 6-10 Our Transcendent Existence In Christ 6 That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master—7 for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes. 8 We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion to live our lives pleasing to him. 10 For one day we will all be openly revealed before Christ on his throne so that each of us will be duly recompensed for our actions done in life, whether good or worthless. ~2 Corinthians 5:6-10 TPT Revelation 20:11-13 Romans 14:10-12 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 1 Corinthians 4:5 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Discover the simplicity of salvation in this powerful message about God's path to righteousness. Many people today struggle with complex religious systems and self-righteous attitudes, missing the simple truth that connecting with God requires faith in Jesus Christ, not perfect behavior or elaborate rituals.This message explores Romans 10, where Paul addresses how the Jews had religious zeal but lacked understanding of God's righteousness. Like many today, they were trying to establish their own righteousness rather than accepting God's plan.
