2 Corinthians 5:6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
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.
There is nothing like
Confidence
Faith
Peace
In the midst of the troubles of the world.
Paul said his confidence surrounded the fact that he knew while he was in the body and on this earth, he was an ambassador. this world is a strange place to the Christian. Its culture and its practices are foreign to us and this world is not especially kind to us. But the Christian has no reason to be beaten down and discouraged. Our confidence comes from the fact that this world is not our home.
One day, whether by the death of the body or by the rapture of the saints, we who are believers will depart this world and be forever with Christ. When our faith in Christ's promise to be present with Him is strong, then our confidence and peace regardless of what happens to our bodies is strong as well.
