As Christians we have received new life in Christ by the Spirit. This new life is like putting on a new set of clothes after having removed our old set of clothes that do not fit our new way of living. Once we we were darkness, but now we are light. Our hard, stubborn heart has been replaced with a heart of flesh. Once we were defined as Gentiles, alienated from the life of God we are now being created after the likeness of God. Therefore let us walk in the way of Christ.
