"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator." - Colossians 3:5-10

Great post. Old man is simply the sins of the flesh. The "you" in you.. the sinful nature. The new man is simply, the "Him" in you...the new birth.

Amazing description. You have said it all. God bless you my friend.

The believer has the life and nature of God in him already. Putting away these things is simply aligning to that nature in his spirit.
