Paul describes salvation as a renewal of our minds and spirits, taking off our old lives and being given a new life in the image of God, with purity and truth. In this way, we were once foreigners to God's Kingdom, but now we're citizens through Christ.
[Eph 4:17-24]
[Eph 2:11-13]
[Rom 1:18-23]
[John 14:6]
