2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. This verse is about the confidence that we as Christians have in being able to be with the Lord after death. This is because Jesus died for our sins so that we could have eternal life. This is a great encouragement for us, knowing that even though our bodies may die, we will be with the Lord forever.
