1) God is constantly renewing us. He is constantly renewing our new man. Our Born-Again us is the one that is fed by the word of God (which God equates to bread, Matthew 4:4) and by prayer (which God equates to drinking more of Him, Psalm 42:1). The key is to ditch the theology that says the old you is GONE. Defeated? Yes! Disappeared? NO. That is Why are new man needs to be renewed. 2) Jesus is God. No, He doesn’t just represent God. He is God. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus forgives a third-party person who is not directly or indirectly connected to Jesus. Only God can third-party forgive sins. The Jewish leaders were angry that Jesus healed on the Sabbath. But they were much more irritated that Jesus made Himself equal to God. This is referencing the Deity of Jesus.
