May 6, 2024 · The new man is the newly regenerated spiritual nature of the born-again Christian. It is the inner self made alive in Jesus Christ and, after that, being renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16; Romans 7:22; Ephesians 3:16).
The old man represents the life we had before conversion, and the new man, the new vessel, is the life that comes because of conversion. But if we take the expansive and dynamic new wine, and we attempt to put that into the old life, we can be sure that we will have a disaster on our hands.
This verse instructs Christians to put on the new self, which is created in God's image, righteousness and holiness. It is part of the context of new life in Christ and contrasts with the old self that is conformed to the world.

If we compare Romans 13:14 with Ephesians 4:24, we can get closer to Paul’s meaning in Ephesians 4: (1) “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 13:14) (2) “Put on the new human being who was created according to God in righteousness and the holiness of truth” (Eph 4:24).

So while Adam and Christ parallel each other in key respects, they do not parallel exactly. In Adam we all came to life, but in Adam’s fall, we entered into a fallen state. In Christ, we move from this fallen state into a new creation “according to God.” Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:45–46: “And so also it says, ‘The first human being, Adam, be...
In Ephesians 4, Paul then commands us to live out our future in the present. We are new creations in Christ Jesus as the Holy Spirit seals and guarantees (Eph 1:13–14). The full reality of putting on Christ means being totally recreated into the image of Christ, the pneuma, the life-giving pneuma. So while we anticipate the fullness of new creation...
What does it mean to put on the new man in Ephesians 4:24? It means to put on Christ, who is the firstborn of all (re)creation and the life-giving spirit. Learn how Christ's humanity and resurrection transform us into a new creation according to God.
The New Man. 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as [a]the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past ...
May 26, 2004 · The Jew and the Gentile have been reconciled, and together in Christ they form this so-call “new man.” The “new man” is a new society in which all have free and equal access to God and are seated with Christ in the heavenlies (2:5-6). In God’s design of the “new man” there are no divisions or hostility among members ...
