Many years ago I came across a short Bible study that was written with verses in 2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8 in mind. I will give you the verses and then share with you the short study that I recently found again in an old Bible that I had gotten out to use. The study was tucked within the pages and as I read it again, the reasons for my keeping it became apparent.
2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8 " Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are not seen are eternal.
For we know that if our earthly house (physical body), this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from GOD, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation (new heavenly body) which is from Heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.
For we who are in this tent groan being burdened not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now HE WHO has prepared us for this very thing is GOD, WHO also has given us the SPIRIT as a guarantee.
Therefore, we are always confident, knowing 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 confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the LORD. " 2nd. Corinthians 4:16 - 5:8 NKJV
