[The Glory Unveiled]
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. ( Romans 7:18 )
The natural man is robbed of all the essence of God resident in Christ. The man without a recreated spirit; the man who is not born again cannot express the original life because they do not have it. This is why as much as a fallen man tries to do good or does good. Their efforts are not recognized because they do not have the basic coding in themselves to live out the life of God. The sinful nature overrule their God nature, so that the only life they can express is a life of enmity to God, at best. The natural man may have a desire to do what is good but they cannot carry it out. On the other hand, a man with a recreated spirit may find themselves in a similar quagmire if their soul is not acquainted with that new life. There is the need to familiarize one’s soul (mind, will and emotions) with the new found life through the study of the word of God. So that one has accepted Christ, they must continue to transform their minds with the word of God. The word of God which is the image of God is the Believer’s agency for transformation even though their spirits are transformed and saved. But for that transformation to be seen on the earth scene, there is the need for careful study and practice of the word.
