From the Old Man to the New Man

 

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." - Acts 1:8

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38

We crucify our “old man” of sin (“the flesh”) when we repent of our sins, and put on the “new man” when we are baptized in the name of Jesus and are filled with His Spirit, the Holy Ghost.

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." - Romans 6:6 KJV

"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." - Galatians 5:24 KJV

"For if ye live after the flesh [sinful life], ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body [repent of the sinful life], ye shall live." - Romans 8:13 KJV

"Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds [old life of sin]; and have put on the new man [filled with the Spirit of Jesus], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him [as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him]:" - Colossians 3:9-10 KJV

"For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:20-23 KJV

"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh [sin]." - Galatians 5:16 KJV

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh [sin], but after the Spirit." - Romans 8:1 KJV
