If we are saved by God, we are either "at home in the body" which is "away from the Lord" or "away from the body" which is "present with the Lord". If we are not saved yet, then we are "dead in our trespasses" (Eph. 2:1) which is away from the Lord. If we die in that condition, we will be "in torment" which is also away from the Lord.
