NOTE

New life in Christ Gal 5:19-21, Col 3:5-7, Rom 6:1-4

Old life simply means living a sinful life, a life that is characterized with sins. In other words, it means living a life that does not glorify God or living a life that is not pleasing to God. The Scripture refers to such life as living in darkness. Furthermore, the Scripture makes it known that whoever is living such life is of the devil. They may claim to be Christians or righteous, yet the Bible refers to them as children of the devil.

NEED FOR CHANGE

There is need for every soul to change from this old life to the newness of life in Christ Jesus. The Bible refers to this change as deadness to sin. This means that anyone who has forsaken the old life is dead to sin, and such person is now living a new life in Christ Jesus. It is mandatory for everyone to change in this regard to avoid damnation and eternity in hell. The process of this change is called salvation.
