3:20
Our citizenship is in heaven. We are part of a different kingdom, and we need to live and think as such. This does not mean we are “other worldly” (i.e. divorced from reality), no one can imagine this is one looks at the life of Christ and the life of Paul. Both were firmly grounded. But we march to the beat of a different drum. If we are out of step with the world, then that should come as no surprise. Indeed, it is a positive indicator.
3:21
We are looking forward to the return of Christ, and He will transform our “lowly body”. We will die mortal but will be raised immortal (1 Cor 15:42-44). We will be raised to have a body like Christ’s glorious body. This will be achieved by the same power that enables Him to bring everything under His control.
