In the New Birth, the spirit of man is made a new creature, as we see in Second Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...." One modern translation of this verse reads, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, there is a new self." We are not the same old self we used to be; there is a new self.
This new man we have become in Christ Jesus should dominate our thinking processes and our body. Yet many who are born again and even are filled with the Holy Spirit still are baby Christians who have not developed spiritually...
Believers are baby Christians as long as their salvation experience and their experience of being baptized in the Holy Spirit have not yet affected their bodies and their minds...
The Bible tells us that we ourselves must do something with our bodies and our minds: ". . . PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Rom. 12:1,2).
