What We Believe

THE CHRISTIAN'S TWO NATURES

We believe that a saved person has two natures, the old nature (the flesh), and the new nature (the indwelling Holy Spirit) (1 Corinthians 6:1920; Romans 7:15-25; Galatians 5:16-17); that we are called with an holy calling, to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1-2, 4); that we should live in the power of the indwelling Spirit so that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Romans 6:11-13; 8:12-13; Galatians 5:16- 23; Ephesians 4:22-24); that the flesh, with its fallen, Adamic nature, in this life is never eradicated (Galatians 5:16-17; John 3:6); that it is with us to the end of our earthly pilgrimage (John 3:6; 1 John 1:8, 10); and that it needs to be kept by the Spirit constantly in subjection to Christ, or it will surely manifest its presence in our lives Grace Baptist Church’s ARTICLES OF FAITH 7 to the dishonor of our Lord (1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 3:5-9).
