The Word Zoe in the New Testament means the God-Kind of life. Why did Jesus come to earth? According to John10:10, he came to bring Abundant Life. Another way of describing the God-Kind of life is found in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."
In the Old Testament, Ezekiel 36:26-27, we find out that when talking about the "new birth" the words heart and spirit are interchangeable. When we are born again it is the spirit of man and not the body of man that is made new. What does it mean to be made new? The New Testament word for "new" in Ephesians 4:24 does not mean something more recent in time, but something having a changed spirit-life.
If your mind is not renewed with the Word of God, it will side with your flesh and dominate your spirit. The old man has to be crucified with Christ and the mind renewed. Romans 6:6 and 12:1-2
I pray that this has been a blessing to you.
Love & Prayers always
