old man (Rom. 6;6); and in the quickening of the new man (Col. 3;10).
Rom. 6;6.—Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.—1 Cor. 5;7.—Col. 3;9.—Eph. 4;22.
Col. 3;10.—And ye have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.—Eph. 4;23, 24.—Isa. 1;16, 17.
*89. What is the mortification of the old man?
It is a sincere sorrow of heart, that we have provoked God by our sins (2 Cor. 7;10); and more and more to hate and flee from them (Rom. 12;9).
2 Cor. 7;10.—For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.—Joel 2;12, 13.—Matt. 26;75.—Ps. 51;4.—Rom. 6;2.—Gal. 5;21.—2 Cor. 5;17.
Rom. 12;9.—Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.—Amos 5;15.—2 Tim. 2;19.—Isa. 55;7.—Jude 23.
*90. What is the quickening of the new man?
It is a sincere joy of heart in God, through Christ (Ps. 51;8), and with love and delight to live according to the will of God in all good works (Rom. 7;22).
Ps. 51;8.—Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.—Ps. 51;12.—Rom. 5;2.—Rom. 14;17.—Phil. 4;4.
