How does one's understanding of Christ change after being born again?

Upon experiencing the new birth, a believer’s understanding of Christ is fundamentally altered. They begin to see Christ as the fulfillment of all scripture, recognizing Him in the Old Testament types and shadows, such as the Passover lamb (Exodus 12) and the scapegoat (Leviticus 16). This enlightenment, granted by the Holy Spirit, allows Christians to appreciate Christ’s sacrificial work on the cross and His righteousness, which is the basis for their acceptance before God. As a result, they move from self-reliance to reliance on Christ alone for salvation and sanctification.
