Spiritual, yet canal
Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
When you become a Christian you discover that part of you wants to walk "in newness of life" (Romans 6:4), while another part wants to walk "after the flesh" and you would, if it weren't for God's spirit who lives in your divided house and groans when you do certain things. Challenging you with God's word.
The truth is, your new heart is still living in the old body. Becoming a new being in Christ doesn't not be you have mastered holiness, you need to grow, but sadly many attack carnality with person and not the sprit of God
God doesn't want do-it-yourself righteousness. The Bible says "He which hath begun a good work in you will perform until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
God alone knows the process it will take for the Christ of saved you to be firmed in you, we each travel our own paths at our own pace, but our goal is the same: to bear a greater resemblance to our heavenly father, and getting us there is God's job.
So let him do it, your job is to keep walking with Him day by day as He does it.
God bless you.
