A new creation is not just a cleaned up old you, it’s a completely new you. The new me in Christ is a living sacrifice because I am alive, resurrected in Him through the cross, and the old me is dead. A renewed mind is one that is continuously aware of this and lives through the lens of this truth: I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

Great post, love what you said about it not being a cleaned up version of me, but a brand new me.
I just wish the old me would stay dead – Luther said, “Daily I must crawl back to my baptism,” Ditto for me!
