What does it mean to be called by a new name in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

'Called by a new name' signifies a believer's transformation and identity as a cherished child of God, free from past labels of sin (Isaiah 62:2).

The phrase 'called by a new name' in Isaiah 62:2 signifies the profound transformation that occurs when a person is redeemed in Christ. Once labeled as forsaken or desolate, believers are now given a new identity as children of God, reflecting their acceptance and belonging within His family. This new name represents both a change in status and a renewal of purpose, indicating that they are now recognized as part of God's royal priesthood and holy nation. Embracing our new identity is crucial for Christian living, as it shapes our understanding of who we are in Christ and how we are called to represent Him in the world.
