Philippians 3:12 (ESV)
Straining Toward the Goal
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Paul has been changed into a new creation. His spirit leads the way that will be complete upon the resurrection of his body. His spirit is alive in Christ. Our resurrected body will perfect the fullness of life in Christ that includes body, soul, and spirit. We will be like Him. Until then, we are the body of Christ on earth in these mortal bodies, as was Jesus before He died and was resurrected. In the meantime we press on to overcome the flesh and be like Him.
