The renewal wrought by the Holy Spirit includes the following: When Baptism regenerates us through faith, at the same time it gives us a new spiritual life. The Holy Spirit begins living in us, enlightens our minds and our understanding, directs our will toward everything good, and gives us strength to live as God’s children, to resist lusts and be renewed according to the image of God.
On the Last Day in the resurrection, Christ’s Church will be glorified, at which time we will be free of our Old Adam and completely cleansed and holy.
