Lenten study 2007 – Day eighteen
Colossians 3:10 – and have been clothed with the new man
To me, living as a reborn person, being a “new man,” is both propositional and experiential, probably about in equal proportion. In faith I accept the fact that I am a new man in Christ, that my life is hidden with Christ in God, and this faith makes a difference in my daily experiences.
As I think about it, my perception of the world around me (my worldview) is still changing as I work out my faith in my everyday routine. Long way to go, of course, but I am clear about my marching orders and my destination.
Last word: I still screw up a lot, but God is a patient God. My “guardian angel” must often have his hands full.
