We must embody real spiritual formation

Indeed, the spirit or heart may even be eager (Matthew 26:41), but unless the flesh or embodied personality as a whole is trained to go with it and support it, the follow-through in action will not occur, or will not reliably happen, or may even be in direct conflict with the spirit or will: "I do the very thing I hate!" (Romans 7:15). While the spirit or heart is the ultimate source of life (Proverbs 4:23), we do not live there. We live in our body and its world. Christian spiritual formation works from the spirit or will and from its new life "from above." But its work is not done until we have put off the old person and put on the new (Ephesians 4; Colossians 3).
