Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God doesn’t just improve the old version of us but He creates something entirely new. In baptism, our old self is buried with Jesus, and we rise to walk in newness of life. This is way more than just behavioral change; it's a life transformation as God gives us a new Spirit, just as He promised through Ezekiel. The “new me” isn’t a self-made project but a Spirit-born identity grounded in grace as we don’t live for sin, but for our Savior who makes all things new.
