Colossians 3:9-10 (ESV)
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Putting on the new self is the act of transforming into the image of God. Repentance is involved because it means changing the mind. A disciple of Christ seeks to be more like Christ, in having the mind of Christ.
Our renewal in the knowledge of Him requires being in His word, meditating on the word, and listening to His word. These are attributes of seeking and being in His presence.
