Getting born again changes us radically on the inside; specifically, it gives us new, sinless, flawless natures that begin influencing how we behave. No longer are we comfortable with ungodliness, because our old, sinful nature that made us sinners is gone; we’re now the righteousness of God, and we want to live godly because it’s our nature to do so. This is due to the new creation living inside us that makes us want to please God. This new creation works in us to change the way we think, to align it with the way Jesus thinks. Renewing our minds as we’re continually being transformed gives us the upper hand over sin.
