At this very moment your body is slowly decaying along with the rest of the universe . In the field of thermodynamics, the term entropy, denotes the degradation of the matter and energy to an ultimate state of disorder. Death is the destination and this is the utter goal of entropy - to rot everything unto a cold, lifeless state. The universe is in a constant battle between order and disorder which rages on from the minuscule atoms all the way up to the social levels of human civilization. Somehow, somewhere, we would always notice a force trying to get things in order, and a counterforce trying to put things in disarray. This is all too familiar to a mother of three kids trying to maintain a neat house.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Mat 6:19-20

The force of Order and Disorder have the same power to catalyze a radical and disruptive change in the environment. Throughout human history, there has been so many revolutions, reformations, as well as empires, and nations that swept through the whole globe. These upheavals either left a painful scar or an enduring legacy that lives on to this very day.
Jesus shared the mechanics of how the world is turned upside down - it starts with a simple seed.

"..if you have faith as small as a mustard seed...Nothing will be impossible for you."
Mt. 17:20

To put His analogy in a visible contrast, let us point to a giant sequoia tree that has grown from a seed weighing only 1/5800th of an ounce and about 1mm in diameter. It has increased its size or weight on a ratio of 1:250 billion. This is a major feat for a small seed defying the second law of thermodynamics. The possibilities are unimaginable. If there be some kind of allegorical faith seed planted and nurtured in an individual, it will grow from within, causing a startling transformation from the inside out.
And this is where individuals experience the fringe benefits of healing, renewal, and a positive well-being that results from having even the tiniest ounce of faith. And because I've heard it said that "God sometimes cures, but he always heals", this indeed shows the triumph of faith over the degenerating curse of the natural law on human life. Since being healed means becoming able to cope emotionally and spiritually with a debilitating disease or illness, the ultimate triumph has never been put more powerfully than the phrase "Your Faith has Healed You."
On a global scale, we find the effects of faith through upheavals in history that started from the lives of ordinary people dramatically changed by simple faith, and went to defeat impossible odds, causing noble changes in the world. By faith they have shown a kind of resilience and persistence amidst adversity, and entropy is reduced to a myth in the face of faith. In a never-perfect world, unto which shall you succumb to - Faith or Entropy ?
Although we can, in some limited way, stave off entropy during the course of our life - as some transhumanists are actively pursuing in "life-extension" efforts - still in the end our mortal bodies are hopeless to the law of degradation - "prolonged" as it may be. The ultimate battlefield between faith and entropy is upon life itself. And all may seem lost, but alas! Notice that the material is just a stepping stone for a higher intangible level. Matter is being used up for churning up something else greater : molecules have churned up life, the brain has churned up the mind. Molecules are tangible, but Life is not. The brain is tangible, but the mind is not. The body is tangible, but your character and Spirit is not.
If an assemblage of a mass of mindless particles of matter are useful enough so as to give rise to thinking and feeling creatures endowed with free will, capable of realizing love, kindness and meaning, then there is within us an awesome purpose for greater things. There is a wonderful reason for our life and existence even as our cells continue to disintegrate. Death is a given. Yet entropy's grasp lies only in the material universe. But faith can take us to the wonderful Beyond whose pattern becomes ever clearer as the universe moves onwards to the arrow of time, giving us more glimpses of the spiritual future as history continues to unfold.

Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2Cor 4:16-18

As for our bodies, the second law of thermodynamics may have the final say. But if we choose our faith well, even an ounce of it can give us that vibrant life - here, now and beyond. For faith in the absolute Truth aligns us with the ultimate Order, the law that gives a place for everything and everything in its place.
