Q89. What is the dying of the old self?

Psalm 51:3–4, 17

“For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest. The sacrifices of God a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”

Joel 2:12–13

“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.”

Romans 8:12–13

“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”

2 Corinthians 7:10

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
