We, as born again believers, are invovled in a very real daily internal struggle between the flesh( the old Adamic nature) and the Spirit( the new divine nature).
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ~ Psalm 100:1-3
