The Old Man, crucified in Christ, is now alive in Christ! The Old Man’s thoughts must pass away, while the New Man learns to let God’s mind dwell within him!
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
The Old man draws solace from his past, seeking wisdom, experience, and hope. Conversely, the New Man finds his source of information, experience, and hope in Jesus Christ.
In contrast, the Old Man places his trust in his past experiences, while the New Man places his trust in his Lord.
The Old Man believes he possesses all the answers, while the New Man recognizes that all the answers lie within Jesus!
Instead of making excuses for inappropriate behavior, the New Man embodies the behavior of the Lord, never resorting to excuses.
The Old Man finds solace only in the prospect of his own death, while the New Man eagerly anticipates the return of Jesus Christ.
The Old Man pondered the purpose of his existence, while the New Man knows deep within his heart that his purpose is to glorify the Creator who brought him into being.
The Old Man asks, "What would Jesus do?" The New Man knows what Jesus is doing!
The Old Man tries to anticipate what Jesus has planned for the future, while the New Man waits for the Lord to move in the future!
The Old Man attempts to bear his own burdens, while the New Man entrusts his burdens to the feet of Jesus.
The Old Man is consumed by the fear of public opinion, whereas the New Man finds solace in the approval of his Lord and Savior.
The Old Man is consumed by an excessive pride in his enslavement to the flesh, while the New Man experiences a profound sense of humility in his servitude to Christ Jesus.
The Old Man is the only one who is tormented by the pain of Fire Baptism. Conversely, the New Man is strengthened and empowered by the transformative experience of Fire Baptism
The Old Man is perpetually consumed by uncertainty about his future, while the New Man finds unwavering confidence in his Master’s divine plan!
