1.     What do we become when we are in Christ, and how is this truth further emphasized in Galatians? 2 Corinthians 5: 17, Galatians 6: 15

2.     How is the new man created, and what change should take place in the believer’s life? Romans 6: 3 - 4, Ephesians 4: 24 - 25

3.     How is the new man continually renewed after conversion? Colossians 3: 9 - 10

5.     What fruit will be evident in the life of the new man? Galatians 5: 22 - 23

Note: We are to bury the “old man” at baptism and rise from the water as a new creature in Christ. With a clean slate, the believer can now learn the ways of the Lord that lead to eternal life. The transformation does not end at baptism, but continues daily as we grow in grace, walk in obedience, and allow the Spirit of God to shape our lives.
