Hebrews 11:14-16

14People who live in that way show that they expect to live somewhere else one day. That is the place where they will really be at home.

15They were not thinking about the country that they had left. They could have gone back there if they really wanted to.

16No, they wanted very much to go to a better place, in heaven. For that reason, God is not ashamed for them to call him their God. He has already prepared a city for them to live in.
