INSIGHT

What Died When We Became Christians

  • Our sinful flesh, described by Paul as the old self hostile to God, died when we became Christians.
  • God replaced this hostility and insubordination with a new self that loves, trusts, and submits to God.

The New Self in Christ

  • When united to Christ, the new self lives by faith and Christ lives within us.
  • This new self is alive to God, trusting and dependent on Him instead of being self-sufficient.

Battle Sin With Your New Identity
