- When we get saved, we take on a new nature, the nature of Christ. The Holy Spirit provides us with the ability to live accordingly, but our old spirit of self-centered living doesn’t necessarily go away quietly. In fact, he often sticks around in the shadows, trying to work his way back into a position of power in our lives. Instead of trying to move forward with this dual nature warring inside us, Pastor Doug discusses the ways in which we can defeat our old nature, once and for all.
