What does the Bible say about having two natures?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers possess two natures: the old sinful nature and the new nature created by the Spirit.

The teaching of the two natures is firmly rooted in Scripture, as seen in passages like Romans 7, where Paul expresses the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. Believers experience this internal struggle, which points to the reality that they have been given a new heart and a new nature that is aligned with God's will. This duality is crucial to understanding salvation and the ongoing battle against sin in the life of a Christian.
