New man, old man


 
 
 
 
 
 
Fade in to heaven

The Son

Happy New Year Father

The Father

Happy New Year Son

The Son

Why would they prefer the old man,?  If only mankind could see the stark contrast between the old man and the new man, they'd see the new man is better

The Father

Well, I can arrange that Son

The Son

Don’t they realize that it is only as they walk in truth their inward man is renewed day by day?

The Father

Paul wrote it down for them, Son

The Son

My blood for the new testament, it was shed for so many Father

The Father

Yes, Son for so many, and if any man be found in You, they are a new creature

The Son

Yes, Father and old things are passed away and all things are become new and all things of God,, but they must put on the new man, for it is the new man that is renewed in knowledge after our image

The Father
Yes Son and not by works of righteousness which they do, but according to mercy We save them, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost

The Son

The very reason I was made mediator of the new testament.  I died for them that they might live unto us, that the called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance

The Father

Yes, by a new and living way, which was consecrated for them, through the veil, that is to say, Your flesh, Son.  If only they would really see how much I love them so

The Son

If they would just loose their lives, they'd find them Father, but so many of them try to  hold on to their old lives, and so many of them try to live life by their own power, by their own will, that will never, ever lead them to their true destinies

God the Father

We’ve sent them the Holy Spirit to help them do that

The Son

Yes Father, and my blood, it speaks much better things than that of Abel's

The Father

Yes, The Word of the covenant speaks much better things than that of Abel's

The Son

The apostles wrote it down for them, that as newborn babes, they must desire the sincere milk of the word, that they may grow thereby, but many of them do not drink as they should

The Father

This is true, many do not drink in the truth.  You gave them the new commandment too

The Son

Yes that they should love one another as I have love them

The Father

You did teach them how to pray....lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil.

The Son

Yes I did, but many do not pray daily

The Father

You also told them if they would come after You, they would have to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow You

The Son

Yes, but so many of them do the opposite, they crucify the new man daily and let the old man live

The Father

You provided the way for them Son, they just need to look to you more and to themselves less.  Look Son, behold the epitome of the old man and the new man.  If they could just hear the stark contrast between the two, it would help them see that the power to overcome all things is found in relying on us three

Fade to the old man and the new man; their words reveal much

Old Man

I live to sin

New Man

In Christ, I am dead indeed to sin

Old Man

I walk in the old life, I prefer it

New Man

In Christ, I walk in the new life, God prefers it

Old Man

I serve myself

New Man

In Christ, I serve the one true God

Old Man

Daily, I crucify the new man and let the old man live

New Man

Daily, in Christ, I crucify the old man and let the new man live

Old Man

I do not obey from my heart the gospel

New Man

In Chirst, I do obey from my heart the gospel

Old Man

My life is hard

New Man

In Christ, God’s life is a gift

Old Man

My life is corrupt, it is led by lusts

New Man

In Christ, my life is good and is led by God Who loves me and Has recreated me new after His righteousness and true holiness

Old Man

I don’t always put away lying and I do not always speak the truth to my neighbor

New Man

In Christ, I put away lying and speak the truth to my neighbor

Old Man

I often let the sun go down upon my wrath

New Man

In Christ, I do not let the sun go down upon my wrath

Old Man

I often give place to the devil

New Man

In Christ, I never give place to the devil

Old Man

I sometimes steal and do not always work with my hands that which is good, so I can have to give to those that have need

New Man

In Christ, I do not steal and work with my hands the thing which is good, that I may have to give to those that have need

Old Man

I often let corrupt communication proceed out of my mouth

New Man

In Christ, I let no corrupt communication proceed out of my mouth

Old Man

I often grieve the Holy Spirit of God

New Man

In Christ, I never grieve the Holy Spirit of God

Old Man

I don’t always put away from me things like bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking and malice

New Man

In Christ, I put away from me things like bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice

Old Man

I am often unkind to others, hardhearted, not forgiving others

New Man

In Christ, I am kind to others, tenderhearted, forgiving others

Old Man

I set my affection on things on earth

New Man

I set my affection on things up above

Old Man

I don’t take up my cross daily, I don’t crucify the flesh, things like fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry still rise up

New Man

I take up my cross daily, and crucify the flesh, things like fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry never rise up

Old Man

Whatever I do, I do unto men; not unto the Lord

New Man

Whatever I do, I do unto the Lord and not unto men

Old Man

I can't seem to be like you, why is that?

New Man

Only in Christ can we put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man with his deeds

Old Man

How can I do that, the law of sin and death seems to have so much power over me. I can’t seem to shake it

New Man

You can’t shake it on your own, that is why Christ came and made all things new for us.  He’s given us a new law to live by.  The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is the only thing that frees us from the law of sin and death, and it is the law of love.

Fade back to heaven

The Father

They must rely on our free gift Son....but they do have free will, so to overcome in all things they must yield to our Spirit and pray daily, then every day will be a Happy New Day for them

Son
Yes Father, every day
