God sent his son Jesus Christ to reclaim the spirits that walk in the earth in the form of flesh and blood. The spirit man within the body is like a fruit when it is ripe, you peel away the shell or cover and discard it because it is of no use. It is the fruit that is within that is good., known as the fruit of the spirit. The body of the spirit must be discarded. Good fruit will kept, and bad fruit tossed out along with the shell or cover.
