Why is the concept of the inner man important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The inner man represents the new creation in Christ, empowering believers to live according to God's will.

The inner man is crucial to Christian identity, as it symbolizes the new birth and renewed life through Christ. Paul describes this inner man as having been created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). This transformation allows Christians to see, hear, and feel differently than before their conversion. The inner man serves as the source of spiritual life, desires, and the ability to pursue holiness, thus enabling believers to live in accordance with God's commandments despite the struggles of the outer man descended from Adam.
