2 Corinthians 4:15–18 NIV
15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Knowing yourself helps you to understand where you came from.

The Psalmist knew this and expressed it.

Psalm 139:14 NIV
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Newness in Attitude helps us to look at ourselves differently.

1 Corinthians 11:31–32 KJV 1900
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

New Attitude shows us our status in this world with God.

Romans 7:14 KJV 1900
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

New Attitude shows us our position with God.

Romans 7:15–17 NIV
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

New Attitude helps us to see us as we really are.

Romans 7:18–20 NIV
18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

New Attitude helps us to make a sound decision of where we need to be.

Romans 7:21–22 NIV
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;

New Attitude helps us with the struggle we have to be in this world without God or be with God.

Romans 7:23–24 NIV
23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?

A New Attitude brings us to the conclusion of giving our lives to God for a secured future.

Solomon, the wises man that ever lived said it like this,

Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 KJV 1900
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Paul answered his own question with a New Attitude and said.

Romans 7:25 NIV
25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

A New Attitude of understanding ourselves allows a connection to God that will last for eternity.
