NEW NATURE

The sinful flesh which the Bible calls the old nature will always be with you till you die. It is sinful and evil and you need to reckon it dead as you have a new nature in Christ. This fleshly nature will raise its head from time to time with its old feelings and thoughts. Recognize where they come from and kill them immediately. This is the only way to overcome the flesh. You can't change your old sin nature. It is steeped in sin and this is why you did not have much control over it. In Christ you can reckon it dead. Now you can be free from its harassment and be free to live in the Spirit. The spirit man in you lives in God. You abide in Him and He will direct your thoughts and feelings. The nature we inherited will be there but in the spirit you have a new nature. Now live from your new nature which is being renewed in Christ.As you walk daily in your new nature it becomes a habit. You no more look to your old nature as it is a cruel tormentor. It torments you with thoughts of lack and fear. Fear comes from the old nature which does not know the unconditional love of Christ. The new you, hid in Christ, knows His unconditional love and remains in His love. Remember He holds you and all you have to do is rest in His arms. What a salvation from the torment of the old nature which strives to be but fails miserably.Only in Christ can you be saved from the tormentor of your soul.
