Vida nova
Em Cristo, toda pessoa é transformada em uma nova criação. O velho passa e tudo se faz novo. A vida nova é o resultado da obra redentora de Jesus em nosso coração.
Morte e ressurreição com Cristo
O batismo simboliza nossa morte para o pecado e ressurreição para uma nova vida. Fomos sepultados com Cristo e ressuscitamos com Ele.
3 Or are you ignorant, that as many as were dipped into Anointed Jesus, into the death of him were dipped?4 We were buried together therefore with him through the dipping into the death, that as was raised up Anointed out of dead ones through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life should walk.
5 If for planted together we have become in the likeness of the death of him, certainly also of the resurrection we shall be;6 this knowing, that the old of us man was crucified with, that might be rendered powerless the body of the sin, of the no longer to be enslaved us in the sin;7 he for having died has been justified from the sin.
11 So also you count yourselves dead ones indeed by the sin, living ones but by the God, in Anointed Jesus.
Nova criação
Quando aceitamos Jesus, nascemos de novo. A velha natureza dá lugar a uma identidade renovada pelo Espírito Santo.
17 So that if any one in Anointed, new creation; the things old passed away, lo, has become new the all things.
20 With Anointed I have been crucified; I live but, no longer I, lives but in me Anointed; the but now I live in flesh, by faith I live in the of that son of the God, of that having loved me and having delivered up himself in behalf of me.
11 where not exists Greek and Jew; circumcision and uncircumcision; barbarian, Scythian; slave, freeman; but the things all and in all Anointed.
Despir o velho, vestir o novo
A vida nova se manifesta em abandonar os velhos hábitos e revestir-se do novo homem, criado segundo a vontade de Deus.
22 to put from you, according to the former course of life, the old man, that being corrupt according to the inordinate desires of the deceit;23 to be renewed and in the spirit of the mind of you,24 and be you clothed with the new man, that according to God having been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
8 now but put off also you the things all, anger, wrath, malice, evil speaking, filthy words out of the mouth of you;9 not speak you falsely to each other; having stripped the old man with the practices of him,10 and having put on the new, that being renewed by exact knowledge according to an image of the one having created him;
9 If we confess the the sins of us, faithful he is and just so that he may forgive to us the sins, and he may cleanse us from all righteousness.
Renovação interior
Deus promete dar um coração novo e um espírito novo. A transformação nasce do arrependimento e da purificação divina.
3 among whom also we all lived once in the desires of the flesh of us, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were children by nature of wrath, as also the others;4 the but God, rich being in mercy, through the much love of himself, with which he loved us,)5 and being us dead ones in the faults, he quickened together with the Anointed; (by favor you are having been saved;)
