Our outer man is decaying. At the end of our days, our bodies will be sown in weakness, dishonor and corruption. Until then, we groan, waiting for the hope of our salvation, our adoption, the redemption of our bodies, the resurrection to our new and glorified immortal human bodies. Until then, we war against the desires of our flesh by reckoning the truth of our death to sin and new life in Christ. We are experiencing the first-fruits of the Spirit giving life to our spirit and producing in us the fruit of self-control.
