What does the Bible say about the two natures of man?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that believers have both an old nature that is sinful and a new nature that is righteous and united with Christ.
The concept of two natures in a believer is rooted in the understanding of being both spiritual and carnal. Romans 7 illustrates this struggle vividly, where Paul expresses the tension between wanting to do good and facing the reality of sin's presence. The 'old man' is in enmity against God and cannot please God (Romans 8:7), while the 'new man' delights in God's law and seeks to live righteously. Believers experience this internal conflict daily, as they navigate life with these two opposing natures within them.
