START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
AT HOME WITH THE LORD / 2 CORINTHIANS 5:8
This verse and others (Luke 23:42-43; Philippians 1:23) clearly teach that there is no interruption of time between death and the life to come. The Christian’s death brings him or her immediately into Christ’s presence (1 Corinthians 13:12). That is why for the believer, “to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). This does not mean that Christ is not present with His followers now. The Holy Spirit lives withing each true follower of Christ and continually works to make Christ’s presence and reality to believers. Yet, this does teach that we are now following Him by faith and not by sight (Hebrews 11:1).
