We have to avoid drawing a distinction between spiritual reality and material reality. We are creatures who exist in both realms all the time. This walk of following Jesus is fulfilled by the Spirit and it is fulfilled in the flesh. The Spirit does the work and the work is done on our whole persons, including our bodies. After all, how else could we describe speaking in tongues?

We are never farther into the realm of conjecture than when we posit what God thinks or how God views things. We have to be careful trying to come from this angle which is always inaccessible to us.
