“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
Philippians 3:20-21 KJV
Paul is explaining that we are a colony of heaven on earth as we cling tightly to our Life-giver, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who will transform our humble bodies and transfigure us into the identical likeness of His glorified body; and using His matchless power, He continually subdues everything to Himself. We were made in the image and likeness of God until Adam and Eve lost it. Only through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus and through faith in the finished work of the Cross we are restored back to the image and likeness of God. The Holy Spirit was sent specifically to bring about this restoration, not only in our spirit, but our soul and our body too. All because the Lord Jesus subdues all things to Himself. Thank You Jesus!
