What does it mean that Christians are new creations in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being a new creation in Christ means that believers are transformed internally and live a life empowered by the Holy Spirit.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul declares that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. This transformation involves not just the forgiveness of sins but also the impartation of a new nature that seeks to please God. As believers, our old self is put to death, and we are renewed to walk in righteousness. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live in accordance with God's will, leading to a life marked by genuine good works and obedience, which reflects our new identity as children of God.
