This week so far, we’ve looked at how the Holy Spirit renews our spirit so that the areas of our lives that are cracked and broken because of sin can be restored and transformed.

There is an area of our lives that can’t be renewed and transformed as much as we’d like it too be, though: OUR PHYSICAL BODIES. As much as we’d like to experience the Holy Spirit’s renewal to the point where we can experience lasting, permanent health within our bodies and a reversal of the aging process so that we don’t have to experience death, the truth is, we can’t. Bodily aging, physical suffering, and death are still very much a reality for all of us. While some are healthier than others, we will always experience the reality of physical decline and eventual death.

However, there are a few things that are a part of a life with Jesus that we can hope for in this life and look forward to in the next.
