The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum How many natures does a Christian have

C. Other

The Christian has one "nature" which was recreated in regeneration. The predominance of the new nature is to love God, and to walk in obedience according to His revealed will as it is found only in Scripture. However, there is a remnant of the previous sin nature which still exists, which is sometimes referred to as "the flesh" and which wars against the new disposition of the new nature and is the spring from which sin comes. (cf. Rom 7:14ff)
