It’s not possible for you to change yourself, but it’s possible for God to change you by the miracle-working power of His Spirit. He’ll do things you can’t do!

This is what it means to become “a new creature” in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). In other words, when someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand-new person. He is not the same anymore! Jesus coming into your life not only renews and purifies and regenerates your spirit, but it also renews your mind, literally breaking old connections and reflexes and gradually rebuilding it and rewiring it into a whole new computer system with a different outlook on life and a new way of looking at the world, with new reactions to nearly everything around you.
