How do we know that the new creation in Christ is real?

Answered in 1 source

Through faith in Jesus Christ, believers experience the new birth, confirming the reality of the new creation as outlined in 2 Corinthians 5:17.

The new creation in Christ is not merely a theological concept but a profound transformation in the lives of believers, as indicated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. This transformation signifies that the elect, by God's mercy and grace, are regenerated and made alive in Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit, paralleling God's creative work in Genesis. The work of the Spirit on the hearts of the elect leads to a fundamental change in their nature and understanding, making the reality of the new creation verifiable in their daily lives through faith and obedience.
