If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24 Put Off the Old You & Let Go of Your Past Labels If You Will Renew Your Mind God Will Change the Way You See Yourself Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Isaiah 43:18-19a Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
