When someone believes in Jesus, God gives them a new life. Colossians 3:10 explains that this “new self” is being renewed with true knowledge, shaped by the image of God who created it. The Apostle Paul uses words that remind us of Genesis, showing that this new life doesn’t come from human effort or the image of Adam, but from Jesus Himself.
This transformation is God’s work. We do not create the new self—it is a gift. But we do have a role. Each day, we are called to “put on” this new self, like clothing. That means choosing to live in a way that reflects Jesus. Our words, actions, and attitudes should all show who Christ is.
As the Holy Spirit guides and strengthens us, we become more like Jesus. This allows others to see Him through us. This is the hope and power of the gospel—that God remakes us to reflect His Son.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
