Colossians 3:1-3
Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Hebrews 11:12-16
Therefore even from one man, and one who was as good as dead at that, there were born descendants who were just as the stars of heaven in number, and as the innumerable grains of sand along the seashore.All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.And indeed if they had been thinking of that country which they left, they would have had opportunity to return.But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, 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 eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,while we look not 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 our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked.For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a pledge.Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight—but we are of good courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
