Philippians 3:21

When we think about our transformation as Christian’s, there are two distinct transformations taking place—sanctification while we are on Earth, and glorification when we get to Heaven. Here on Earth when we engage in discipleship, it is primarily about transformation and growth to become more like Christ. Glorification is the freedom from the presence of sin, when Christ transforms us into glorious bodies like his own. Until that day, we should strive live our lives in such a way that our holiness matches our heavenly citizenship.

PRAY: Lord Jesus, thank you for your wisdom, your perfection, and your promise of our future heavenly bodies. Help us as we live our lives here on Earth to be transformed more into your likeness each day, until that day when we are fully glorified and free from the presence of sin and death! Amen.
