According to Philippians 3:21, God “will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body.” So the best picture of what we’ll be like in heaven is the resurrection body of Jesus Christ. We will have a body fit for the full life of God to indwell and express itself forever.

The body is the physical structure of a person, including the bones, flesh, and organs.
