Two Natures - Adam and Christ, # 47

Many people believe that we have one nature that is changed when Christ comes in and fills us with his spirit. One respected teacher, Miles Standford, taught that we needed to think in terms of having two natures - Adam and Christ. It is important for the growing believer to know where he or she stands in relationship to the two natures. Without proper understanding the old nature, the self, will atttempt to live the new life and will continue to struggle uncessfully for the promised victory.
