From the onset of our salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, we’re spiritually repositioned from the kingdom of darkness where Satan rules and positioned into the Kingdom of Light where God reigns. Because our eternal citizenship is now of Heaven, we live as foreigners and temporary residents here on earth.While our earthly body fades, we worship the Lord and eagerly await Christ’s second coming. When this occurs, He “will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21 NIV). While waiting for our complete salvation through Christ Jesus, we’re called to draw closer and closer to our Creator—to love Him more, know Him more, and become more Christ-like in thought, behavior, and action.This progressively occurs by means of God’s Holy Spirit living, maturing, and increasing within us. As we abide in Christ and He abides in us, we’ll indeed seek and crave more of Heaven and less of this world. The more our soul, mind, will, and emotions yield to the transforming work of God’s Spirit, the battles within our soul and flesh decrease. Then we advance in sacred change during our spiritual journey toward our eternal, secured Homeland that God promised us.
