WHY DO WE NEED A NEW BIRTH? Eph. 4:17-24 — This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart… …Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus… …That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. FIRSTBORN
WHO IS THE OLD MAN? Col. 3:1-10 — If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory… …Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; For which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: Wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things… …But now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: Lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, And have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: FIRSTBORN
