Bible Note: Hello stjohn When we are receiving Jesus as savior we receive a new nature. This new nature is his nature. This nature of Jesus cannot sin. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 1 John 3:9 9--- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 5:18 18--- We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. John 1:13 13--- Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. When we are becomming saved (born again) we are receiveing the nature of Jesus. But we are also keeping everything we had before we are saved. We become dead to the flesh. And alive to the spirit Rom. 8:10 10--- And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 1 Pet. 3:18 18--- For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Rom. 7:25 25--- I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Before we were being saved, we were ruled only by the deceitful lusts of the flesh. Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Then our mind is renewed by God. To righteousness and holyness Eph. 4:23,24 23--- And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24--- And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. After we are saved we seek after spiritual things. We start reading the Bible. This is something we are never doing before we are becomming saved. But now we are having the Spirit of God dwelling inside of us. And our new nature. The nature of Jesus because we are born of God. Psalm 119:105 105--- Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. John 6:63 63--- It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. We have been brought into the Perfect Law of liberty by Jesus sacrifice for us. This Liberty means we cannot sin. James 1:22-25 22--- But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23--- For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24--- For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25--- But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
