In the fourth episode of "God Killed My Old Man," Duane Sheriff teaches the transformative power of our new nature in Christ. Understanding this new identity is the key to embracing our new nature and living a victorious Christian life.
When we accept Christ, a radical change occurs. According to Ephesians 2:1-5, we were once "dead in trespasses and sins," but now we have been made alive in Christ. This change is not just an improvement of our old selves, but a complete replacement. Our old sinful nature has been crucified, and we have been given a new nature that is "righteous and truly holy."
Romans 6:11 instructs us to "reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." This verse is not about constantly struggling against sin but about embracing our new identity in Christ. We are not trying to become righteous; in our new nature, we already are righteous.
Living out our new nature isn't about willpower or following rules. Instead, it's about understanding who we are in Christ and allowing that truth to transform our lives. As we renew our minds and grasp the reality of our new nature, we'll naturally desire to live holy lives that reflect our true identity in Christ.
