In
Philippians 1:6 the Apostle Paul began his letter expressing confidence that “He
who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”
(NKJV). Chapter 3 concludes with a description of that “day” and how it is that
Christ will complete the work He began in us, “(the Lord Jesus Christ) will
transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according
to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”
