Eternal life
We know that if the tent that we live in on earth is torn down, we have a building from God.

laid bare
Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
