The new person within us must be brought to maturity through a process of cultivation. As we spend time in God’s Word, we behold His glory and we are changed by His truth. Thereafter we must systematically and progressively deny the demands of the old self and yield instead to the influence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to enlighten our eyes to see what God has for us in the new man.

Today, we explored how the new self is the product of God’s Word, the truth. In the new self, God’s purpose and His image are imparted to us. The nature of the new self can be described by the words, righteousness and holiness. The new self is born from the seed of the Word of God, which is divine, eternal, incorruptible, and so our nature produced from that seed also is divine, eternal, and incorruptible. It’s the very nature of Jesus Himself.

Yesterday Derek taught on identifying the old and new self, today he will teach on the need to learn God’s solution for the problem of the old self. Listen as Derek shares three things which are not God’s solution for the old nature: self, law, and religion. Those methods cannot change the rebellious and corrupt nature of the old self. God’s remedy is execution of the old nature—the execution that took place when Jesus died on the cross for us.

Listen today to get acquainted with the nature and origins of two persons—the old self and the new self. We are all born with a crooked, rebellious nature, which is the “old self.” Not only is the old self rebellious, it is also corrupt, spiritually, morally and physically. But, as born-again believers we are to lay aside the “old self” and put on the “new self” that has been created in the likeness of God—in righteousness and holiness.

It’s vitally important for us, as Christians, to fully understand the price Jesus paid for our salvation. You are so important to God, that He sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins so you could spend eternity with Him! Let’s listen as Derek continues to give us insight about the sacrifice of Jesus…and what that means to us.

Today, Derek is going to pick up where he left off describing the seven times Jesus bled. Listen as he explains how each event in the life of Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament…and how our salvation “Cost All He Had.”

Today, we will gain a greater understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross as Derek examines and explains how Jesus fulfilled prophecies. There was great purpose in everything that happened to Jesus. His sacrifice for us was complete…and completely powerful to free us from sin and give us eternal life with Him.

Let’s listen today as Derek continues to bring to light illustrations from the Word that demonstrate God’s fathomless, never-failing love for you and for me. Hear how God made the greatest investment in the universe for you.

Derek begins a new series entitled, “It Cost All He Had.” What a difference it makes when you realize that this earth and this universe is not just a series of accidents, but it’s all perceived out of the loving heart of a Father God. Learn how you’re part of a divine eternal plan conceived in love.

Derek has explained, a divine exchange occurred at the Cross. Jesus took our rejection and provided our acceptance. Today, discover another critical stage in receiving acceptance…one that helps eliminate loneliness and a sense of being unfulfilled.
