The Nature of the New Man
What exactly is the nature of the new man? In essence, the new man is characterized by the nature of the risen Christ—spiritual, justified, and ready for a new life in fellowship with the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. When invigorated by the gospel and prayer, this new nature becomes receptive to understanding the mysteries of the Word, grasping the truth, and discovering God’s purposes and plans. It is graced to be a true temple of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within, guides, comforts, teaches, and reveals the truths of Christ as promised. Additionally, this nature is open to visions, revelations, and spiritual gifts, freely given without measure. Paul views this nature as fitting for being a part of Christ's body, and the Church adorns herself with such saints throughout history.
Paul affirms that this new nature, which is open to Christ's perfect love, is also deserving of being filled with all the fullness of God: "And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" (Eph.3:19). This divine preparation means that believers are becoming one unified body in Christ, continuously transformed from one degree of glory to another, yet maintaining a singular essence. This collective growth aims for unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God, reaching full maturity: "To equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Eph.4:12-13).
If our ultimate goal is to be united as one complete being with the fullness of Christ's stature, it is crucial to understand the significance of loving one another. This love is not merely a requirement but an essential characteristic. As Paul instructs: "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ" (Eph.4:15).
This book aims to guide readers through a profound understanding of how the new creation redefines our existence, our relationships with God and each other, and our spiritual journey. Through detailed scriptural study and theological reflection, we seek to illuminate the path from our fallen state to the glorious new creation envisioned by God.
