How do we know that being a new creature is a true doctrine?

Answered in 1 source

This doctrine is affirmed by Scripture, particularly in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Romans 6, which assure that believers are made new through Christ's work.

The truth of being a new creature in Christ is grounded in Scripture, which consistently illustrates this transformative work. For instance, 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares that anyone in Christ is a new creation, highlighting a clear before-and-after distinction. Additionally, Romans 6:4 correlates this newness to the believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection, indicating that just as Christ was raised, so too are believers called to walk in newness of life. This new identity is further confirmed in passages like Ephesians 2:8-10, which teach that salvation is by grace through faith, resulting in believers becoming God's workmanship, created for good works.
