“throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” – Ephesians 4 : 22-24. You have been made a new creation in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit has united you into God, and he has made Christ complete in you. You are connected into heaven and you have been made righteous and holy in Christ. You did not do this, the Holy Spirit did it in you. You died to your old sin nature and you were raised into a new creation in Christ. The old died, you are new. As Christ is so now are you.
