COLOSSIANS—NOTE ON Colossians 3:9 seeing that you have put off the old self... and have put on the new self. The Greek grammar indicates that this is an event that has already taken place. A change of identity has already occurred in believers’ lives. Now they must bring their behavior into line with their new identity (see also Romans 6:6; Ephesians 4:24). Being renewed indicates that the transformation of Christians is an ongoing process.
