EXCERPTS FROM THE MINISTRY
HAVING PUT OFF THE OLD MAN AND HAVING PUT ON THE NEW MAN
"Having put off the old man and having put on the new man is a condition of learning Christ. This is utterly different from the devilish, modernistic teaching that says that Christ established the highest standard of human living and that we must endeavor to copy Him and to live up to this standard. If we would learn Christ as the reality is in Jesus, we must fulfill the condition of having put off the old man and of having put on the new man. This is not a superficial truth.
Between the word regarding the putting off of the old man and the putting on of the new man, Paul wedges in the thought of being renewed in the spirit of our mind (Eph. 4:23). Based upon the accomplished facts of the putting off of the old man and the putting on of the new man, verse 23 tells us to be renewed in the spirit of our mind. To be renewed is for our transformation to the image of Christ (Rom. 12:2 ; 2 Cor. 3:18). The spirit here is the regenerated spirit of the believers, which is mingled with the indwelling Spirit of God. Such a mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed for our transformation. In this way our natural mind is conquered, subdued, and put under the spirit. This, of course, implies a process of metabolic transformation. As this process takes place, the mingled spirit enters our mind, takes over our mind, and becomes the spirit of our mind.
The new man is of Christ. It is His Body, created in Him on the cross (Eph. 2:15-16). It is not individual but corporate (Col. 3:10-11). The fact that the new man is created of two peoples proves that it is corporate. Furthermore, Colossians 3:10-11 reveals that the new man is a composition of many different peoples. In this corporate new man there is no Greek or Jew, no slave or free man, no barbarian or Scythian, but Christ is all and in all. In Colossians 3:11 the word all refers to people. This means that in the new man Christ is all the people and is in all the people. Therefore, in the corporate new man Christ is all and in all.
In order that we might learn Christ, Paul presents a sharp contrast between the old man and the new man, between the devil and God, and between lusts, on the one hand, and righteousness and holiness, on the other. We have been taught that we have already put off the old man and have put on the new man. This means that we have put off the lusts and the falsehood of the devil and have put on the righteousness and holiness of God. This God is the reality, and this reality is seen in the living of Jesus on earth. The human living of Jesus was according to the reality, that is, according to God Himself, full of righteousness and holiness. Praise the Lord that we have learned Christ as the reality is in Jesus!
If we learn Christ by putting off the old man and by putting on the new man, we will be in the church life, for the new man actually is the church. If we learn Christ as the reality is in Jesus, then we can have a genuine, proper, and practical church life." (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 386-392)
