Until we are reunited with our bodies, we will not be in our created natural state.Let me cite C. S. Lewis on this question: "A two-legged horse is maimed. A two-legged man isn't." God's willingness to take upon Himself human flesh, rather than an angelic hologram, indicates that the final resurrection is something to anticipate with joy.

We can look forward to the time when we will be "whole" again, but while we are waiting (in the spiritual state alone) we are not whole yet. In other words, we are "maimed."
