The Spirit of the Lord is the New Nature

The message focuses on 2 Corinthians 4 and 3. The speaker explains that salvation is like light entering darkness: darkness cannot fix itself, but light removes it. In the same way, a person born in darkness needs a new source, and that source is Christ.

The speaker compares the old covenant and the new covenant through the faces of Moses and Jesus. The old covenant is described as a ministry of death and condemnation, while the new covenant is called the ministry of the Spirit and righteousness. Moses’ veiled face is used to show that the old glory was passing away, while the glory in Christ remains.

The message turns to the believer’s inward renewal. The speaker says the Spirit of the Lord brings liberty, and that the inward man is renewed day by day even while the outward man perishes. The listener is encouraged to reject old desires, past wounds, and any claim that the old nature still defines them.

The final section emphasizes 2 Corinthians 3:18 and the call to be transformed into the image of Christ. The speaker says believers already carry Christ’s nature within and are to grow from glory to glory through prayer, worship, and Scripture. The main ministry of every believer is presented as Christ being formed in them.
