Hebrews 11:13-16

13These all died in faith, acnot having received the things promised, but adhaving seen them and greeted them from afar, and aehaving acknowledged that they were afstrangers and exiles on the earth. 14For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, agthey would have had opportunity to return. 16But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed ahto be called their God, for aihe has prepared for them a city.
