From Essential Truths of the Christian Faith by R.C. Sproul
(c) 1992 R. C. Sproul Published by Tyndale ISBN 0-8423-2006-1
Part VI. Human Beings and the Fall
47. HUMAN BEINGS AS FLESH AND SPIRIT
Summary
1. The Bible rejects the Greek idea that the body is intrinsically evil.
2. Christians are neither to despise nor exalt the body. The body and the soul are in need of sanctification.
3. No Christian is completely carnal or completely free of carnality.
4. Every Christian is indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
5. The warfare between flesh and spirit is not a conflict between body and soul but a conflict between our fallen sin nature (old person) and our regenerated nature (new person).
6. The struggle between the flesh and the Spirit continues in the Christian life until glorification.
Biblical passages for reflection:
Mat 26:36-41 ; Joh 3:6 ; Rom 7:13-8:17 ; Eph 2:1-3 ; 1Pe 2:11
