What is the Old Man & What is the New Man?
The old man, the one with the sinful nature who in past did not follow God, he is buried in Jesus name in a watery grave and the new man comes up out of the water as a new creation walking in the newness of life and filled with the Holy Spirit!
Romans 6:3-4 ~ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
2 Corinthians 5:17 ~ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Acts 2:38 ~ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
John 3:5-8 ~ Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Let me appreciate Pst. Michael for looking through the corridor of scriptures to inform us, about the words of God. I pray may God continue to protect, guide,and bless you.
All for the glory of God. Thank you Brother Jonathan
