• Note here the difference of the corresponding phrase in Ephesians. There the Christian is created after God in righteousness and true holiness. Here it is the new apprehensions of the divine life which knows God. It is our state, not God’s creative act. Not that this contradicts the Ephesian view; on the contrary, “renewed” here is another word from Ephesians. It is that which is wholly new, never was there before (ανακαινουμενοι; anakainoumenoi). In Ephesians “renewed” is what is kept fresh and new. (“Colossians 3” by J.N. Darby)
• Not Adam, but Christ is the standard—Christ who is God as well as man (“Colossians 3” by W. Kelly)
• As with the putting off of the old man, the putting on of the new man is a thing that was done when a person took the Christian stand. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death and Resurrection of Christ: Colossians 3:1-11” by B. Anstey)
• The new man first came into view “in Jesus” (Eph. 4:21). That is, men first saw this moral perfection when the Lord Jesus walked here in this world. (“Jesus” is His Manhood name.) Just as the old man is not Adam personally, the new man is not Christ personally. G. Davison said, "The new man is not Christ personally, but it is Christ characteristically" (“The Believer's Identification With the Death and Resurrection of Christ: Colossians 3:1-11” by B. Anstey)
