Message Title: The New Man in Christ Is Jesus (Part 2)

Message Focus

Understanding how the new man in Christ lives and expresses himself, especially through the inward man and the soul.

Key Points

1. The Inward Man is Active

The believer is a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17–18), and this new life exists in the inward man, not the outward body.

This new man is an entire new creation. Christianity is not instructing the old man about the new ways in Christ he should now follow. It was that the old man who once lived in that body has now been replaced by an entirely new man in Christ.

Though the outward man may remain the same, the inward man is renewed daily (2 Corinthians 4:16).

The inward man can:

•See
•Hear
•Feed on God’s Word
•Worship
•Engage in spiritual warfare

Spiritual life operates beyond physical senses

2. True Worship is Spiritual

Jesus taught that true worship is no longer about location but about the spirit.

As seen in John 4:23–24, the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth.

✔️ Worship flows from the inward man, not outward activities

3. The Inward Man Must Be Clothed

Just as the body wears clothes, the inward man must also be clothed.

Scripture says to put on strength and beautiful garments (Isaiah 52:1–2), and also to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17).

Spiritual clothing includes:

•Strength
•Righteousness
•Faith
•Salvation

4. What You Wear Inwardly Matters

A person may have riches but not express them because of what they are wearing outwardly.

In the same way, believers may have riches in Christ but fail to manifest them because they are not wearing the right spiritual garments.

Life responds to what is worn internally

5. Man is Spirit, Soul, and Body

Man is a tripartite being — spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

•The spirit is recreated instantly
•The body remains the same
•The soul is where transformation happens

✔️ The soul is the key area of development

6. The Soul is the Battlefield

Transformation happens in the soul through the renewal of the mind.

As stated in Romans 12:2, believers are transformed by renewing their minds.

The battle is not in the spirit, but in the mind (soul)

7. Putting On the New Man

Believers are instructed to put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

This “putting on” happens in the soul, where what exists in the spirit is expressed.

You wear outwardly what you have inwardly

8. Grave Clothes (Old Patterns)

When Lazarus came out of the grave, he was alive but still bound (John 11:43–44).

This represents believers who are:

•Spiritually alive
•But still bound by old thinking and habits

Instruction: Loose him and let him go

9. Renewal of the Mind

The Word of God must be received to bring change in the soul.

As seen in James 1:21, the engrafted Word is able to save the soul.

Strongholds in the soul include:

•Fear
•Inferiority
•Wrong identity
•Negative patterns

10. The Role of Words

With the heart man believes, and with the mouth confession is made (Romans 10:10).

Words:

•Shape the soul
•Reinforce identity
•Write new patterns

The tongue is a tool for transformation

11. Salvation of the Soul

While the spirit is saved instantly, the soul is saved progressively.

1 Peter 1:9 shows that believers receive the salvation of their souls.

This happens through:

•The Word
•Confession
•Renewed thinking

12. Standing in Freedom

Believers are already free in Christ and must stand in that reality.

Freedom is not something to be achieved later but something to be lived now.

Not: “I will be free”
But: “I am free in Christ”

13. Removing Grave Clothes

There are two primary ways:

1.Through the Word of God (renewal and confession)
2.Through the ministry of the Spirit
