The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completly ruined.``

2 Corinthians 5:1-4
For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. For in this tent we groan, longing, to be further clothed with our heavenly habitation if indeed, when we have taken it off, we shall not be found naked. For while we are in this tent we groan and are weighed down, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
 
2 Corinthians 5:6-10
So we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord. Therefore we aspire to please him, whether we are at home or away. For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.  
 
2 Corinthians 5:16-17

What then shall we say? shall we persist in sin that grace may abound of course not! How can we who died to sin yet live in it? or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? we were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.

Romans 8:5-9
For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit. The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace. For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it it; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you.

Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good.
