Bringing Up the New Man

How can we make our New Man grow strong and healthy to counter our Old Man? Exactly how you would take care of your body, nutrition and exercise gives growth.

Nutrition
Read (Eating)
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4 KJV)

Pray (Breathing)
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV)
Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. (Colossians 4:2 NLT)

Exercise
Do
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (James 1:22 KJV)

Tell
"Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. (Luke 8:39 NIV)

Growth
Know
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:3 KJV)

Transformed
So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord--who is the Spirit--makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:18 NLT)
