Human Nature - a podcast by Pastor Cecil E. Barry

• Human Nature – Let’s talk a little bit about our human nature, and what has happened to it that is causing us so many problems, including issues with us following God’s Word and Ways. For most of us, from the day we were born, our nature has taken on qualities of a sinful person. If we are honest about it, we can easily look back and see how sinful things were added to our nature. Do we remember when we started lying? Do we remember the day we became ok with being greedy, or even taking things that did not belong to us? How about the day when we started allowing our body to have sexually and lustful desires? We have been training our mind and body how to live for sin for a very long time. Now that we have accepted Christ Jesus and repent from our sins, the Spirit of the Lord wants to deal with all the sinful things we have allowed our human nature to take in. The Lord wiped away all our sin and condemnation, but he did not say our nature had been changed. All those sinful things did not get attached to us all at once, and it’s not going to be put to death all at once. If we are faithful and allow the Spirt to do its work, it will feel like we are suffering as each one of our sinful ways are put to death, but we are being set free. Free, so we can take on the full nature of God that we receive through Christ Jesus, and the Spirits work in us. We just have to remain faithful, and let the work come to a completion in us, so our human nature its like the nature of Christ. Completely free.
