What does the Bible say about the two natures in a believer?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that every believer possesses two natures: the old man of flesh and the new man of the Spirit, as described in Galatians 5.
The Apostle Paul, particularly in Galatians 5, explains the experience of having two natures in a believer. He notes that the old man, representing our sinful desires, is in contrast to the new man, which is created in righteousness and holiness. The battle between these two natures is evident, where the flesh opposes the Spirit, and the Spirit yearns to do what is pleasing to God. This duality is central to understanding the Christian experience, where the believer grapples with sin while being empowered by the Holy Spirit to pursue holiness and righteousness.
