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

Answered in 1 source

The truth of newness in life through Christ is affirmed by more than personal experience; it is grounded in Scripture, particularly in 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Romans 6.

The newness of life promised in Christ is substantiated through the Word of God and the believer's experience of redemption. In Romans 6:8-11, Paul explains that if we have died with Christ, we shall also live with Him. This indicates that the experience of salvation leads to a true transformation in the believer's life. Moreover, the declaration of being a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) reinforces that this change is radical and divinely instituted. It shows that God's redemptive work in Christ not only offers forgiveness but also brings about a spiritual renewal, empowering believers to live differently. Thus, our new identity is firmly rooted in both Scripture and lived experience.
