We have repented of our sins, been baptized in Jesus name for the remission of our sins, and have received the gift of the Holy Ghost with the sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gave us the utterance. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4)
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV - Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new.
Our old nature became dead, and all the sins that we
repented of were buried when we were baptized in Jesus name. When we received
the gift of the Holy Ghost, we were resurrected to live a new life in Christ.
Romans 6:3-4 KJV - Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of
life.
Our old nature, the “old man” has passed away. God has wiped
the slate clean of our past sins. He has forgotten them.
Psalms 103:12 KJV - As far as the east is from the west, so
far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 43:25 KJV - I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy
transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Romans 8:1 KJV - There is therefore now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
Our old nature, the “old man” with his sinful deeds has
passed away. We must walk daily in the “new man”, the new nature that Jesus has
given us when He filled us with His Spirit.
Colossians 3:9-10 KJV - Lie not one to another, seeing that
ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which
is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him [be renewed as
you learn to know Jesus and become like him]:
Ephesians 4:22-23 KJV - That ye put off concerning the
former conversation [former behavior] the old man, which is corrupt according
to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind [let the
Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes];
Ephesians 4:24 KJV - And that ye put on the new man, which
after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
