1 | What is it about these two natures? | Gal 5:17 | Aixen7z4 | 129989 | ||
Scripture indicates that Jesus had two natures. He was the Son of God (Mark 1:1; John 10:36; etc.)and also the Son of man (Mark 2:10; John 8:28; etc.). Yet this duality caused no conflict for him except, perhaps, in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-42) and in that moment on the cross (Matthew 27:46). While he lived on earth in a human body, he knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) and he did no sin (Hebrews 4:15). We also have two natures (Ephesians 4:22,24). There is the old man and there is the new man. It may even be said that we have the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4) in addition to our human nature (Genesis 6:3;John 3:6) and for us this duality is a source of great conflict (Galatians 5:17). Why is it there was no conflict for Jesus, but so much conflict for us? Consider the importance of the fact that our conflict often results in sin. Please note: The information you provide here will be of great benefit to believers who try to help other believers experiencing conflict. Please settle in your own mind whether you want to help that cause before you answer. |

We also see this battle depicted rather clearly within the life of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7. Thus as we grow more and more mature, our spiritual nature hopefully wins more and more of these battles over that of our physical, human nature. Then we can truly KNOW that we are spiritually mature as John described in 1 John 5. In my lifetime, I've known some wonderful christian couples who counseled us and were such a wonderful example of a loving Christ-like leadership. They were about as near perfect a representative here on earth as I could imagine. We do have so much to be thankful for as Americans. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
