The spiritual life in Christ is the newness of life that was given by God's grace. This life is eternity as there is no ending to God. To live a full spiritual life one needs to renew the mind of the spirit. This process his daily and it's the medication of the Word of God. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2).
