How do we know the new creation is true?

Answered in 1 source

The new creation is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states that anyone in Christ is a new creation.

The doctrine of the new creation is foundational to Christian belief and is explicitly stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17 where Paul declares that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, and the new has come. This transformation is the result of God's sovereign grace and His ability to regenerate the heart and mind of a believer. It is not merely personal change or self-improvement; it signifies a complete renewal of one's identity through the work of Christ. Furthermore, this new creation is evidenced by a life that reflects the character and holiness of Christ, leading to the manifestation of new affections, desires, and purposes in life that honor God.
