What does it mean to put on the new self?

Answered in 1 source

Putting on the new self means embracing a life transformed by Christ, reflecting His righteousness and holiness.

In Ephesians 4:22-24, Paul instructs believers to put off the old self and put on the new self, which is created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. This transformation involves a continual renewal of the mind and heart, enabling believers to live according to God's purposes. The new self is empowered by the Holy Spirit and manifests in behaviors and attitudes that align with Christ’s character, such as love, patience, and humility. It’s not merely a behavioral change but a radical inner change that aligns our desires with God’s will, enabling us to fulfill our calling.
