M. A.--Moulded afresh.<br />

Made over completely by <strong>the</strong> new life. Paul<br />

writes of this in Col. 3:9, 10, “Lie not one to<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r, seeing that ye have put off <strong>the</strong> old man<br />

with his deeds; and have put on <strong>the</strong> new man which<br />

is renewed in knowledge, after <strong>the</strong> image of Him<br />

that created Him.” The first degree, Born again, is<br />

conferred upon us in order that <strong>the</strong> new life<br />

dwelling in us may mould and fashion us after <strong>the</strong><br />

image of God.<br />

The next degree is--<br />

D. D.--Delivered Debtor.<br />

him into <strong>the</strong> new life, to what <strong>the</strong>n is he debtor?<br />

Said Paul, “I am a debtor both to <strong>the</strong> Greeks and to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Barbarians; both to <strong>the</strong> wise and to <strong>the</strong> unwise.<br />

So, as much as in me is, I am really to preach <strong>the</strong><br />

gospel to you that are at Rome also.” Rom. 1:14,<br />
