Philippians 3:18-21
Pressing toward the Goal
18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes,
that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their future is eternal destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and all they think about is this life here on earth.
20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.
And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
21 He will take these weak mortal bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer everything, everywhere. (NLT)
Be on guard for those who would have you turn to the ways of this world. For we who have believed in Christ are not citizens of this world but we are the children of God and citizens of heaven. For our time here is short, we are only passing through and we are waiting for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And while we are here we are to be about the business of spreading the gospel of the kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are not to be idle but be examples of Christ to others, to emulate Christ in us and to let His light shine through us. For all power and authority has been given to Jesus in heaven and on earth and soon our bodies will be changed into glorious bodies like His own and we will be with Him forever. So then, be on the alert against the enemy of God and be ready to share Christ at any moment. Praise be to our conquering King of everything and everywhere.
