Dante and a Christian's life

There's an interesting parallel between the life of a Christian and Dante's Divine Comedy.

The Divine Comedy has three parts, Hell, or Inferno; Purgatory; and Paradise.

I can see a direct parallel with an individual Christian life.

A Christian is born a fallen being in a fallen world. I.e. born into a real sort of hell. It's all we know, so we don't even see how hallucinogenically bad our situation is, and the world around us is.

Then a Christian is regenerated by the word and the Spirit. Born again. This parallels the idea of Purgatory (which is not a biblical concept, but I'm just going on how Dante uses it). As a regenerated Christian we can still sin, but we now also have the ability to not sin as well. We find ourselves in an in between state from total inability (ability to sin; inability to not sin) and the glorified state where we will no longer be able to sin. So it's a kind of purgatory in that we are in a state of tension, perhaps a kind of de-toxing from our previous fallen state (reformulating relationships, for instance, loving our previous enemies, getting understanding of our environment, other people, using new discernment that come with the Holy Spirit, etc.).

Then, of course, comes the glorified state where we have a glorified body in a new glorified heavens and new earth. Paradise.

What is interesting in this parallel is we go through these levels in this life. Well, we do have to physically die to get to the glorified state...
