Rom. 8

Christianity is the resolution to the conflict between spirit and body. Christ's temptations enable us to overcome the evil. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Reincarnation of the Son of God made it possible for us to have the kingdom of heaven in us. The Spirit of adoption liberates us from the slavery of evil in rejection of the bodily temptations. Suffering is an inseparable part of the soul's path to liberation.
