When God's Spirit comes to dwell in our spirit we are "born again". We have new life in Jesus...spiritual life. Our eternity is secured, sealed by the Spirit of God.
The bible talks much about our bodies as well. We are to live in a manner pleasing to God and to conduct ourselves in a way that demonstrates that Jesus is living in us. Our "bodies" are a temple of the Holy Spirit.
I believe the primary battle takes place in our soul (that part of us that is not physical or spiritual). Consider our minds, our wills and our emotions. With our minds we think, reason and remember. With our wills we act. With our emotions we feel. Jesus wants to even clean up our souls such that we have our minds fixed on HIm, our actions submitted to His will and even feel rightly toward every situation.
Now that would be a completely sanctified christian! That is what God wants for us.
