Salvation is described in the Bible as a new birth and transformation where old things pass away and all things become new.
The doctrine of salvation teaches that it involves becoming a new creation in Christ. Paul states in Romans 6 that when one is saved, they move from being a servant of sin to a servant of righteousness. This transformation encompasses a complete renewal of mind, heart, and will. The Apostle Paul also emphasizes that true salvation cannot just be a mere acknowledgment of grace; it must result in a tangible change in a person's life. The newly saved individual is gifted with a new mind, heart, and desires that orient them toward God. The inner transformation reflects God's work in the believer's life, affirming the reality of being born again and the radical change that Jesus brings into one's existence.
