Material is part of creation, but confined to earthly part. This is true of everything down here except the spirit of man. We can be awakened to the kingdom of heaven and be in the world, but no longer part of the world. We are in the darkness of the earth, yet we become children of the light.
We function in both the material and spirit planes of existence when we are reborn from above and receive the Holy Spirit. We become the body of Christ who is the first in all of creation to exist in both spheres. He has become the new creation and we follow in His footsteps. All of creation awaits the revealing of the sons of God who are made in His image at last. The new creation of earth is finished in the perfected flesh and spirit of man.
