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.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death? Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection. For we know that our old self has been crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For he who has died has been set free from sin.
So you also must consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nova criação
Quando aceitamos Jesus, nascemos de novo. A velha natureza dá lugar a uma identidade renovada pelo Espírito Santo.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, 219 55.3% • 𝔐134 38.8% ¦ new things have come CT 2.5%all things have become new.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Here there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free, but Christ is all and in all.
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.
to put off your old self, which belongs to your former way of life and is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created according to the image of God in true righteousness and holiness.
But now you must put them all aside: wrath, anger, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its Creator.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Renovação interior
Deus promete dar um coração novo e um espírito novo. A transformação nasce do arrependimento e da purificação divina.
Among them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, carrying out the desires of our flesh and our impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. Yet God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, made us alive together with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses—by grace you have been saved.
