The Scripture is full of descriptions of the believer’s new spiritual life. In Ezekiel 36:26 God promises He will give us a new heart and a new spirit !
In Psalms 40:30 we have the promise of God giving a new song.
The Bible also promises there will be a new self. Ephesians 4:22. As believers, our spiritual lives are new, but we still have the capacity to sin. And though we have the capacity of sin, the tyranny and penalty of sin in our lives has been broken. However, sin’s potential has not been fully removed, because we have two natures within us that are constantly at battle: a new nature and an old nature.
As you know, it’s very easy to sin. It comes naturally to us. But the new nature doesn’t come naturally; it comes supernaturally. These two natures are battling, and each day, you determine which nature you are going to build up.
So which nature will win? The one you build up the most. Every time you obey God and resist sin, you are building the new nature.
