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. |

Who said there was no conflict for Jesus? Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Christ became a man, divesting Himself of His divinity and the benefits associated with it. I have heard it said that Christ actually suffered far worse than we when tempted, since we give in to temptation before it becomes too difficult. "For we affirm His divinity so joined and united with His humanity that each retains its distinctive nature unimpaired, and yet those two natures constitute one Christ." --John Calvin (1509-1564) |

3 | Are we always conscious of the conflict? | Gal 5:17 | Aixen7z4 | 130069 | ||
No one, so far. It was suggested that there was conflict in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-42) and in that moment on the cross (Matthew 27:46). How much conflict between flesh and spirit do you experience? And how do you resolve it? |
