But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything
under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will
be like his glorious body.
Ultimately, we know that
we will sin. While our goal is perfection, this physical body limits
that perfection. Without sin we would not need God. Without God there
is only death, but with God and his Spirit living inside us
and salvation through his Son, there is life. This passage offers
even greater hope: one day we will no longer live in these physical
bodies, but will be at home with the Lord. We will be completely free
of our physical, sinful selves.
Lord, thank you for the hope of heaven we have in you. Please help us to constantly seek your perfection while here on earth. Amen.
