A Divine Re-Creation
Commentators unanimously stress that the 'new man' is not a self-improvement project but a radical 'new creation' from God. This new nature is made in the very image of God, restoring what was lost in the fall. It's a profound change of principles and desires, not just a change of outward behavior. This new identity is a gift created by God's power, not achieved by human effort.
