— Eternal Life, Oneness —

The New Man has a new heart and a new Spirit…

The New heart is not the old deceitful heart of the old man. It is the heart of Jesus that runs after the Father. It is the heart that yearns for more of the Father.

After being born again our desires have changed. No more do we desire the dead things of the world. Physical habits may cause worldly things to still look attractive and lucrative, but in our hearts we know we don’t desire it.

Paul describes this dilemma in Romans 7, ‘I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.’ He then goes onto explain what Jesus did for us by setting us free from this problem!

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death – Romans 8:1-2 (KJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

We now have a new heart that runs after God and the Spirit to keep us IN Him. He made us one with His Spirit to access that power of Life.

The New Heart is our new nature. It is spiritual.
