The Basic Process for Living as a Christian

What is the basic process for spiritual growth? The apostle Paul has a consistent way of describing it and in Ephesians 4:22-24 he lays it out very clearly for us: lay aside the old man, be renewed in our thoughts and beliefs, and put on the new man.

Ephesians 4:21-24

But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
