HOW TO OVERCOME SIN BY DEALING WITH HUMAN NATURE By Nyron Medina

HOW TO OVERCOME SIN BY 
DEALING WITH 
HUMAN NATURE

By Nyron Medina
INTRODUCTION
In this booklet our studies about how to overcome sin continues, this time we deal with the topic of human nature. For almost two thousand years a dangerous error concerning human nature infiltrated Christian theology, this error came from a man by the name of St. Augustine. It placed human nature in 
the category of sin, so that ever since that time sin has been viewed as sinful human nature. This error has had a devastating effect on the holiness and morals of the Christian church for many, many centuries, and upon the whole world as a result.

This concept caused many to think that they could not overcome sin, since sin was human nature, and that they would have to wait until the second coming of Jesus Christ at which they will receive new sinless bodies to stop sinning. Christianity was taught that when man was justified, he still retained sinful human 
nature which was sin, so that he was saved in sin and not from sin, sanctification was also in sin so that the Law of God could not be thoroughly or truly kept. This was deleterious especially to keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath, since that day could only be kept by the truly converted.

In 1888, God sent a very special revelation to the Seventh-day Adventist Church concerning the human nature of Christ, and this implicatively led to a discovery about human nature as it relates to sin. 
Presented here for the first time in this booklet is a true, proper, Biblical understanding of human nature in sin and free from sin, also presented is a Biblical understanding of the real meaning of the term sinful human flesh. For the first time the light has broken through centuries of darkness in its brilliance 
removing the darkness imposed by St. Augustine, as we approach the closing seen of this earth’s history, when the 144,000, the trophies of God’s grace are to be revealed. May all be blessed by this light. Amen.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
