Introduction: This old body of ours is growing weaker every passing day. At least it seems that way. But the GOOD NEWS… Our Spirit is growing STRONGER! Here is the proof:

1. Our Body is wearing Out! (2Cor 4:16)

“16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish.”

The word “perish” means decaying. After all, this body is just a bunch of dirt. Right? Somebody said it is a dirt clod!
Remember. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Cor 6:19,20).

2. Our Spirit is growing STRONGER! (2Cor 4:16-17)

“16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”

Do you get the picture? This earth suit is about to fold under so that the Spirit takes His heavenly flight.

Conclusion: It all has to do with how you look at it! Here is the key…. (2Cor 4:18)
