KILL THE OLD MAN

Ephesians 4:22 and Colossians 3:9 call it the old man...

Romans 8:7 calls it the carnal mind
Romans 7:24 calls it a body of death

Galatians :17 calls it the flesh

James 1:21 calls it moral filth and the remainder of iniquity

John calls it "sin" as distinct from 'sins"

Ezekiel 38:26 calls it a stoney heart

Theologians call it imbred sin, original sin and depravity.

It is the sinful nature and we are told to put it off, lay apart and kill it.

We are rminded that the blood of Jesus cleanses us and purifies
We are reminded that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil
We are reminded that God will remove the stoney heart.

(Most of the references were taken from Brengles Heart talks on holiness! A must read if you wanna get holy! Very helpful!)
