32320 What the Bible Says About the New You

As you take a few minutes to read through the following verses, consider what each verse reveals about who you now are in Christ.

“For we are his creative work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we can do them.” – Ephesians 2:10

“So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away—look, what is new has come!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

“But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children” – John 1:12

“See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called God’s children—and indeed we are! For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know him.” – 1 John 3:1

“For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.” – Galatians 3:26

“The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.” – Romans 8:16

“And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.” – Romans 8:17

“I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20

“We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For someone who has died has been freed from sin.” – Romans 6:6-7

“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh (for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.” – Romans 8:9-13

“What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.” – Romans 6:1-4

“For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection. We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.) Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him. For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:5-11

“Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him.” – Colossians 3:1-4

“But our citizenship is in heaven—and we also eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” – Philippians 3:20

“Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his plea through us.” – 2 Corinthians 5:20

“So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,” – Ephesians 2:19

“Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27

“For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though many—are one body, so too is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.” – 1 Corinthians 12:12,13

“Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.” – Ephesians 4:25

“I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.” – John 15:15

“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:14

“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me—and I in him—bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.” – John 15:5

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.” – 1 Corinthians 6:19,20

“and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image—in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.” – Ephesians 4:24, NLT
