Ephesians 4:24:
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Notes on Ephesians 4:24:
Very few Christians really understand this great truth. Your new spirit has never been anything but righteous. As far as your spirit man (the real you) is concerned, you were never changed from unrighteous to righteous. The “new you” was created in righteousness. So you are righteous because you were literally born that way! You’ve been that way ever since the moment you surrendered your life to the lordship of Jesus.
Thus, you are most definitely NOT a “sinner saved by grace.” You WERE a sinner before you were saved by grace. Now you are a saint, not a sinner. You are a righteous, holy new creation.
