The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Looking for an article on the sin nature

Hmmmmm... okay

1. Regeneration is indeed the creation/recreation of one's sinful nature; i.e., to be made alive again.
2.The sin nature still exists but now addressing #3 the DISPOSITION/INCLINATION has been radically changed. The DOMINION of the nature is toward God and all that is good, pure and right vs. against God and delighting in all that God hates and condemns. The original nature (natural man since the Fall) is one that hates God and loves sin. The regenerated man loves God and loves holiness and righteousness. Thus, the thoughts and intentions of the heart being governed by man's nature determine are drastically different between the natural man and the new man in Christ. However, the regeneration of man's soul is not complete, i.e., not perfect and intentionally so. The final perfection of the regenerated man takes place at the great eschaton where all who are in Christ will be glorified, i.e., completely in accordance with Christ's nature and God's perfect will in their humanity. True Christians are being transformed into the image of Christ and carried to that completion of their soul by the infallible work of the Holy Spirit. That's a guarantee promised by the Lord Jesus Himself to all who truly believe on Him and of them He shall not lose one.
