And that's why this is the present evil age.
And yet Paul tells us,
2 Corinthians 4 in verse 16.
Let me turn there and read that for us.
As Paul explains the Christian life to us and says this, so we do not lose heart.
You look at the evil around us and aren't you tempted to lose heart?
Doesn't it just overwhelm you sometimes?
Why is it so bad?
Why is it so bad?
Paul got it.
He got it.
He saw it all the time.
And yet he says, so we do not lose heart.
Though our outer man is wasting away, our inner man is being renewed day by day.
He's not talking about body and soul.
It's what it can be tempted to be read as heart.
But Paul is saying the outer man is body and soul belonging to this present evil age.
Fallen in Adam, wasting away.
Inner man is body and soul, one day going to be reunited at the resurrection.
In the meantime, being renewed day by day.
