Old Sin Nature vs. Holy Spirit

R. B. Thieme, Jr., Bible Ministries

The word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a critic of thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12)

All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God might be mature, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)

OSNvsHS.jpg (24493 bytes) Old Sin Nature vs. Holy Spirit is a ceaseless inner conflict. At any given moment, each Christian determines by his own volition who controls his life. The old sin nature is inherent at birth. As long as we live we retain this genetic distorter of our lives which prevents us from fulfilling the plan of God. Yet God’s marvelous plan can be fulfilled. Only the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit can defeat the sin nature and execute the Christian way of life.

This book opens with the dramatic story of Elijah. Triumphant after a powerful spiritual victory, he suddenly flees in terror because of an empty threat against his life. The former spiritual hero becomes totally ineffective. This Old Testament prophet vividly illustrates a principle that applies to every New Testament believer. There is a vast difference between living under the control of the old sin nature and leading a life of spiritual dynamics under the control of the Holy Spirit.
