How do we know that believers are new creatures in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are new creatures in Christ because they experience regeneration, leading to transformed desires and actions aligned with God's will.

The transformation of a believer into a new creature is a fundamental aspect of Reformed theology. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away. This regeneration is a work of God's grace, whereby He instills a new nature in the believer, revealing the truth of their inability to save themselves. The evidence of this regeneration manifests in the believer's newfound love for God's Word and a heartfelt desire to commune with Him, pray, and give thanks in every circumstance. This transformation also leads to a desire for instruction and reproof, as believers recognize the importance of God's correction in their spiritual growth.
