Hebrews 11:13-16

13These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.

14Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

15If they were thinking about where they came from, they would have had an opportunity to return.

16But they now desire a better place — a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
