How do we know we possess the new man?

Answered in 1 source

We know we possess the new man by our faith in Christ and the evidence of righteousness in our lives (1 John 3:9).

The evidence of possessing the new man can be found in our belief in God and His Word, as well as in our actions. In John 3, Jesus indicates that a person must be born again to see the kingdom of God, which signifies the necessity of a new man. Furthermore, 1 John 3:9 states that no one born of God makes a practice of sinning, suggesting that the new man cannot commit the sin of unbelief. This transformation leads to a life that increasingly reflects righteousness and true holiness. Therefore, if our lives exhibit faith in Christ and a pursuit of holiness, it serves as evidence that we possess the new man.
