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.
Ἢ ἀγνοεῖτε ὅτι ὅσοι ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν; Συνετάφημεν οὖν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος εἰς τὸν θάνατον, ἵνα ὥσπερ ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ἐκ νεκρῶν διὰ τῆς δόξης τοῦ Πατρός, οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐν καινότητι ζωῆς περιπατήσωμεν.
Εἰ γὰρ σύμφυτοι γεγόναμεν τῷ ὁμοιώματι τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐσόμεθα· τοῦτο γινώσκοντες, ὅτι ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ¦ υμων CP ἄνθρωπος συνεσταυρώθη ἵνα καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας, τοῦ μηκέτι δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ— ὁ γὰρ ἀποθανὼν δεδικαίωται ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας.

Nova criação
Quando aceitamos Jesus, nascemos de novo. A velha natureza dá lugar a uma identidade renovada pelo Espírito Santo.

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.
ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς, κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφήν, τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον (τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης), ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν κατὰ Θεὸν κτισθέντα, ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας.
Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα—ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν—ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν. Μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν κατ᾿ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν,

Renovação interior
Deus promete dar um coração novo e um espírito novo. A transformação nasce do arrependimento e da purificação divina.
