Philippians 3:20–21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
This verse begins by declaring that our citizenship is in heaven. This is not merely a future reality. We are citizens now, belonging to heaven even as we live on earth. One day we will see Jesus Christ face to face, and our bodies will be transformed to be like His glorious body. In light of Christ’s certain return, we are called to pursue holiness, endure suffering with hope, and invest our lives and resources in what is eternal. ~ Jeff M Newman

Observe Jesus’ Commands
Don’t hold to the teachings of Balam, the Nicolaitans, or Jezebel. These teachings encourage you to compromise your faith and commit sexual immortality. If you do, repent and follow the teachings of Christ.
Revelation 2:14-16 But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. 15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Revelation 2:20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
