Perfect by the Inward Man

(Gal 3:3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Perfect in the Greek;

G2005 ἐπιτελέω From G1909 and G5055; to fulfill further (or completely), that is, execute; by implication to terminate, undergo: G5055 τελέω From G5056; to end, that is, complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt).

2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

(Foolish in this verse means unintelligent and/or exercising the mind.)

Created “inward” spirit, formed “outward” flesh, to complete the “plan” of God for our eternal lives; understanding by way of goodness-evils through experiences. A soul is not complete without the experiences in the flesh and overcoming its evils. (See Also, Rom 7:22, Eph 3:16)

If God is renewing the inward man day by day, how does a “one life, eternal death” belief fit into your current understanding? What would be the point of renewing?
