Paul’s Portrait of the New Man Colossians 3:12-17

The Christian Is A New Man Paul describes the Christian as a “new man” (Eph. 2:15; 4:24) or “new creature” (2 Cor. 5:17) in Christ; changes have been made; the old life is passed away Consider Paul’s portrait of the new man in Colossians 3:12-17: his condition, his clothing, and his control The world has never seen a picture of man like Paul portrays here

The Condition of the New Man New man – he has the renewed image of God (v. 10; Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:18) Elect – he has been chosen by God (v. 12; Mt. 20:16; 22:14) Holy – he has been set apart for God; called out of sin and the world; a saint (v. 12; 1 Pet. 1:15-16)

The Condition of the New Man Beloved – he has been loved by God (v. 12; 1 Thess. 1:4; 2 Thess. 2:13) Forgiven – he has been forgiven by God (v. 13; Eph. 4:32)

The Clothing of the New Man Heart of compassion – he has a deep feeling of concerning for others (v. 12; Phil. 2:1) Kindness – he does good to others (v. 12; Gal. 5:22) Lowliness – he is humble in his estimation of himself and not haughty (v. 12; 1 Pet. 5:5)

The Clothing of the New Man Meekness – he is mild and gentle, but firm; he has power under control (v. 12; Tit. 3:2) Longsuffering – he is patient and steadfast toward his treatment; he does not give up (v. 12; Col. 1:12) Forbearing – he is tolerant of the way he is treated; he endures (v. 13; Eph. 4:2)

The Clothing of the New Man Forgiving – he forgives others as he is forgiven by Christ (v. 13; Eph. 4:32) –Note the word “complaint” used 1x here in the NT; it means a fault or a blame; then, a quarrel –We are not to assert our complaint and then walk away from it, we are to forgive!

The Clothing of the New Man Thankful – he is grateful for what he has in Christ (v. 15, 17; Eph. 5:20)

The Control of the New Man Love of Christ – he is bound by it; like a belt or girdle; it is his prevailing principle (v. 14; Jn. 13:36; 1 Cor. 13:1-6; Eph. 4:3) Peace of Christ – he is ruled by it; it is his umpire; it is his deciding vote (v. 15; Eph. 2:17)

The Control of the New Man Word of Christ – he is indwelt (at home) by it; it is what occupies his mind and will; not human wisdom, doctrines, commandments, etc. (v. 16; 1 Tim. 6:3) Name of Christ – he is governed by Jesus; Jesus is his authority (v. 17; Acts 4:18; 5:40)

Paul’s Portrait of the New Man Are you a “new man”? What is your condition? What is your clothing? What is your control?
