Home Essay Series two natures in one saved sinner
The Old Man and the New Man — Two Natures in One Saved Sinner is a complete KJV-based essay series examining the biblical conflict between the believer’s old Adamic nature and the new man created in Christ. Beginning with the new birth and the distinction between flesh and spirit, the series explains why salvation does not reform the old man, why the flesh remains corrupt and untrustworthy, and why the believer becomes a new creature rather than a repaired version of Adam. Major studies include Romans 6 and reckoning the old man dead, Romans 7 and the inward conflict between the law of the mind and the law of sin in the members, Galatians 5 and walking in the Spirit, the practical necessity of feeding the new nature while starving the flesh, and Ephesians 4 concerning putting off the old man and putting on the new. The series also distinguishes the believer’s standing in Christ from his daily state, eternal security from practical sanctification, and regeneration from the future redemption of the body. It concludes with the promised end of the conflict when the believer is changed at the Rapture and corruption puts on incorruption. Readers will come away with a clear biblical framework for understanding temptation, spiritual warfare, Christian growth, obedience, the two natures, and the ultimate victory Christ has promised.
