And so...how can you become a new creation?
Ephesians 4:17-24
..."So this I say,
and affirm together with the Lord,
that you walk no longer
just as the Gentiles also walk,
in the futility of their mind,
being darkened
in their understanding,
excluded from the life of God
because of the ignorance
that is in them,
because of the hardness
of their heart;
and they,
having become callous,
have given themselves
over to sensuality
for the practice of every kind
of impurity with greediness.
But you did not learn Christ in this way,
if indeed you have heard Him and
have been taught in Him,
just as truth is in Jesus,
that, in reference
to your former manner of life,
you lay aside the old self,
which is being corrupted
in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
and that you be renewed
in the spirit of your mind,
and put on the new self,
which in the likeness of God
has been created in righteousness
and holiness of the truth."...

..." ‘I saw the Lord always in my presence;
For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.
‘Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted;
Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;
Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,
Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
‘You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’ "...
