Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables Him even to subject all things to himself.
rather than having minds set on earthly things (v19) Paul encourages us to remember that we are citizens of heaven, and that future focus should affect the way we live in the present. Am I anticipating the day when Jesus returns and transforms me? Or am I too concerned with this life. Paul is looking forward to Jesus' return (see 3v11, 14 as well as this verse). that affects the decisions he makes today. Are my decisions motivated by my focus on today?
