“But ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:20-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

a change from corrupt and full of deceitful lusts , to one created in righteousness and holiness “

“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:9-10‬ ‭

a change from the old man with his sinful deeds , tonthe new man renewed in his knowledge made after the image of Christ Jesus

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

transformed ( changed ) by the renewing of your mind

ultimately hearing and believing the gospel is meant to change our minds change what we think and believe and this changes us from the old sinful person full of lusts and diverse sinful desires that overcome and enslaved us

to a new person who overcomes temptations and rods thier minds and hearts of lusts and sinful desires by replacing it with thy gospel nd filling up our hearts with the words and promises of Jesus

what changes our mind is the right information , that’s why believing the gospel saves us it changes us changes our minds and beliefs

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

From one glory to the next and from one faith to the next we change as we accept the gospel

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The gospel reveals the rig he eousness of God to us as we learn and it’s meant to change us from the inside from who we were beforehand to who we are called to be after

sin order for us to change we have to be willing to accept that we’re wrong to begin with and let the lord teach us

Psalm 55

19God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:21-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Before Christ we are like we are because of what is within us our knowledge is of good and evil so this makes us sinners who struggle between good and evil desires and thoughts which lead us to those actions

The gospel of we hear and learn from Jesus and believe changes what we know and think and trust it reveals who God really is , who we really are called to be and through that faith built from the gospel our minds and hearts are changed

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are taught and because we accept and believe we are changed by faith
Because we are taught the truth

The fear of God comes as we hear the truth

“Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:9-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬


What i mean is the reason we don’t fear God and repent is because we’ve been lied to and we won’t accept what is there fornus to believe if we won’t change what we believe we’ll never change
