He’ll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.” – Philippians 3:20-21 (The Message) This passage from Philippians emphasizes that our true citizenship is in heaven. It conveys the anticipation of Jesus Christ's return, who will transform believers' earthly bodies to be like His glorious, resurrected body.

Jesus, who was without sin, bore the consequences of sin and took humanity's place, enduring suffering so that we could be declared righteous in God's eyes. This scripture highlights a powerful exchange, showcasing our Lord’s mercy in offering forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
