Sinful Nature

 Hi Dini,


We don’t lose our sin nature that we inherited from Adam and Eve once we receive Christ. The Bible says that sin remains in us and that a struggle with that old nature will continue as long as we live. I think you read of Paul’s struggle in your study of Romans 7:15-25. But we have divine help. The Holy Spirit lives in each Christian and supplies the power we need to overcome the temptation that sin has for us. “No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. (1John 3:9) The key word here is practice, or you might say lifestyle. That is different from stumbling or falling on occasion.


When Jesus was on the cross, he shouted “It is finished” right before he died. (John19:30) what was finished? His payment in full for our sins. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.” (1Peter 2:24) In some way we don’t understand, our sin was there on the cross with Jesus. Those who put their faith in Jesus are forgiven now. So we face choices all the time: the right choice, the sinful choice, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to choose the right choice.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21
