Because He already did it on the Cross. If His works were not completely complete and perfectly perfect, Jesus died in vain.
The New you is already given. It's called the New Creation (2 Cor 5:17). When we get born again, we are instantly changed.
Christianity is not a self-help programme. You don't become better. It's a ONE-step change. Jesus didn't come to make you become better. He killed the old you so that you are changed to the new you.
This is why you begin complete in Him (Col 2:10).
The reason that you don't see yourself changed is because you are still looking at the flesh. But God sees you in the spirit. He sees you already changed.
He's waiting for us to renew our mind to see the New Man in us. Until we see who we really are in the Spirit, we won't see any change in the flesh.
But just because you don't see any change in your flesh doesn't mean that you are still the same. You are a brand new, changed man who just hasn't realised it.
When we change our view of ourselves (mind renewal), we change the way we live.
God did His part to change us. Now it's our turn to think, see and live changed.
