___________________________________________________________
(1) the old man and the new man
Rom 6:6 We know that 1 our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us,
so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
Eph 4:22 You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being
corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,
Col 3:9 Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices
Eph 4:24 and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image – in righteousness and holiness that
comes from truth.
Col 3:10 and have been clothed with the new man that is being renewed in knowledge according to the
image of the one who created it.
OLD MAN
IN ADAM
Receiving
Christ
NEW MAN
IN CHRIST
New man is born in a new birth in Spirit. It is not the end but the beginning of a New Life. The new born babe
grows into manhood “to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ “ which leads to
the final totally transformed Man that “You may become partakers of the Divine Nature” This grows takes time
and struggle with the world and out own personal nature we inherited from the Fallen Nature of Adam.
