When we obey the gospel we repent of our sins, are baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of our sins, and receive the gift of His Spirit, the Holy Ghost. Our old life is passed away; our new life has begun! (Acts 2:38).
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
"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." - Ephesians 4:22-24 KJV
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like [sexual immorality,
impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy,
drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these.]: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God." - Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit." - Galatians 5:24-25 KJV
