“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:20-21 (NASB)
For those of us who are children of God, members of His family, we hold a special dual citizenship. Each person is a citizen of some country on this earth and some even hold citizenship in more than one country in the world. So it is not a strange idea that as children of God's family we also have a citizenship in heaven. Heaven is where our eternal life comes from and where we will be after our physical life on earth is past. But if we are living on the earth right now, we hold our citizenship in heaven as a promise from God. One day, a day we are waiting for, our Savior Jesus Christ, who gave us eternal life, promises to come and transform our bodies from what they are into bodies that are like His. Our verse not only gives us this promise but gives us the qualification Jesus has to fulfill it. He has power and authority over all things and He will use that power in transforming our bodies to be like His.
