We’ve all seen the scene in the cartoons and movies where a character is faced with a decision. In order to help the decision-maker out, two new characters appear. One of them an evil angel or devil and the other a good angel. While possibly sitting on the shoulder of their counselee, they seek to persuade the person to see things their way and make the decision based on their counsel. To a certain extent all people have these two voices in their head. But for the Christian this struggle is much more amplified and real. We have two natures. The nature that we received at our first birth. This is the fallen nature or old nature. And the nature we receive when we are born again. This is our new nature. It is these two natures (also called the flesh and the spirit) that produce a constant struggle in the heart of a follower of Christ. While the struggle is real, so is the possibility for victory. Let’s find out more as we finish up the seventh chapter of Romans.
