How do we know the doctrine of two natures is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine of two natures is affirmed by various passages in Scripture that delineate the conflict between the sin nature and the transformed nature in believers.

The truth of the two natures doctrine is supported through numerous passages within the New Testament. For instance, Romans 7 illustrates Paul's inner conflict, where he acknowledges the presence of both a desire to follow God's law (the inner man) and the reality of sin dwelling within him (the old man). Moreover, 2 Corinthians 5:17 states that anyone in Christ is a new creation, highlighting that the old has passed away and the new has come. These scriptural assertions collectively affirm that the believer's experience of having both a new nature and the flesh is not merely theoretical but a divinely ordained reality rooted in Scripture.
