How do we know that we are new creatures in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
We know we are new creatures in Christ because He transforms our hearts and gives us His Spirit, enabling us to follow Him.
The assurance of being a new creature in Christ is confirmed through the transformative work He performs in our hearts. As stated in Ezekiel 36:26-27, God promises to give His people a new heart and spirit, causing them to walk in His ways. This internal change enables believers to love God and one another genuinely. Furthermore, Galatians 6:14 expresses that the world is crucified to believers and they to the world, indicating a complete shift in allegiance and priorities. This transformation is often evidenced by a growing desire for righteousness and a deepening faith, which are signs of the Spirit's active work within us.
