How do we know the concept of new life in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

The concept of new life in Christ is affirmed through scripture, particularly in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states that believers become new creatures.

The assurance of new life in Christ is grounded in the truth of Scripture, particularly 2 Corinthians 5:17, which proclaims that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; the old has passed away, and the new has come. This transformation is not merely superficial but indicates a fundamental change in one's nature and identity. Throughout the Bible, the themes of regeneration and renewal are emphasized, suggesting that God actively works within believers to conform them to the image of His Son. This is also reflected in the assurances of new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), which assure believers that they are continually transformed by God's grace and compassion. Therefore, it is through faith in Christ and the evidence of this change in our lives that we know this concept is true.
