How do we know that Jesus changes our nature?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus changes our nature by giving us a new heart, as outlined in scripture, leading to transformed thoughts, words, and actions.

In Mark 5, the transformation of the man possessed with a legion of demons serves as a compelling illustration of how Jesus changes our nature. Before meeting Jesus, this man lived among the tombs, exhibiting self-destructive behavior and speaking the language of devils. However, after encountering Christ, he is transformed into a man who desires to tell others about the compassion he received. This change of heart is not mere behavioral modification; it's a profound renewal of the inner person, as expounded in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states that 'if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.' By giving us a new heart, God enables us to pursue holiness and love Him out of gratitude for His grace.
