The "new self" refers to the regenerated nature that believers receive through faith in Christ. This concept is rooted in the idea of being "born again" (John 3:3), where the old sinful nature is replaced by a new nature aligned with God's will. The imagery of "putting on" suggests a deliberate and conscious action, akin to changing clothes, symbolizing a complete change in identity and behavior. This transformation is not merely external but involves a deep, internal renewal of the mind and spirit (Romans 12:2). created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul the ApostleThe author of the letter to the Ephesians, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings. 2. Ephesus A major city in Asia Minor where the early church was established. It was known for its diverse culture and the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 3. The Ephesian Church The recipients of Paul's letter, this early Christian community faced challenges of maintaining their faith amidst a pagan society. Teaching Points The New SelfEmbrace the identity of the new self, which is a transformation that occurs through faith in Christ. This new self is not just a change in behavior but a fundamental change in nature. Created to Be Like God Understand that the new self is created in the likeness of God, emphasizing the call to reflect God's character in our daily lives. True Righteousness and Holiness Pursue a life marked by righteousness and holiness, which are not just moral standards but a reflection of God's nature. This involves a continuous process of sanctification. Practical Transformation Apply the concept of the new self in practical ways, such as through acts of kindness, integrity, and love, which demonstrate the inward change outwardly. Daily Renewal Engage in daily spiritual practices such as prayer, reading scripture, and fellowship with other believers to continually renew the mind and spirit.(24) And that ye put on . . .--But this effect of "the putting off of the old man" is at once absorbed in the stronger idea of "putting on the new man." In the "new man" here is implied not merely youthfulness, but the freshness of a higher nature (as in Ephesians 2:15). To "put on the new man" is, therefore, to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ," by that divine process of which we have the beginning in Galatians 3:27, the continuation in Romans 13:14, and the completion in 1Corinthians 15:53-54; 2Corinthians 5:3. For He is "the new man," "the second Adam," "formed after God, in righteousness and holiness of the truth." Holiness (used only here and in Luke 1:75) is "purity" consecrated to God in His "Holy One" (Acts 2:27). It describes the "purity of heart" of which our Lord Himself speaks as a still higher grace, gifted with a higher reward, than even "hunger and thirst after righteousness" (Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:8). "Righteousness" is goodness shown to others, to man and to God: "holiness" is goodness in itself, as it is in "the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity." Stress is laid upon it here in contrast with the lusts and uncleanness described above. . . . Verse 24. - And put on the new man. As the fruit of inward renewal, let there be outward renovation. A new object is clean, fresh, tidy; let your life have something of the same aspect - let your principles, aims, habits, be new, in the sense of being conformed to Christ, who is your life. Which after God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. "After God," equivalent to "after the image of him that created him" (Colossians 3:10). Some think" the new man" equivalent to "Christ" (Romans 13:14), constituted the Head of renewed humanity, as Adam of depraved. But this would not correspond with the exhortation to put off the old man, nor should we be exhorted to put on Christ after being exhorted to be renewed in the spirit of our minds. In what sense, then, has the "new man" been created? The idea presented itself to the apostle in the abstract - there has been a creation of a new man; but concretely, we have to conform to the Divine creation, in respect of righteousness and holiness; righteousness denoting personal uprightness and fidelity to all social duties; holiness, the state of the spirit toward God. The last words, "of truth," denote the relation of righteousness and holiness to the truth. The words are opposed to "of deceit" in ver. 22. Lust is bred of deceit, but righteousness and holiness of truth. They never deceive, never disappoint, are solid to the end.Parallel Commentaries ...
