What does it mean that believers are given a new nature?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are granted a new nature that allows them to live according to God's righteousness through the Holy Spirit.

The new nature given to believers is a transformative work of the Holy Spirit, enabling them to live in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:24 emphasizes this concept, highlighting that believers are to put on the new man created after God. This new identity contrasts with the old man, which remains sinful and prone to temptation. The distinction lies in the new heart and mind that believers receive, allowing them to serve God and live in accordance with His will. Despite the old nature's presence, the new nature gives believers the ability to resist sin and walk in obedience to Christ.
