What does it mean to be made one new man in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being made one new man in Christ means that all believers, regardless of their background, are united in the body of Christ.

Ephesians 2:15 indicates that Jesus abolished the enmity between Jews and Gentiles, creating in Himself one new man. This new man represents the collective body of believers, who are united by faith in Christ, transcending ethnic, cultural, and social boundaries. It emphasizes the mystical union of believers as members of Christ's body where He is the head. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Paul's teaching underscores the embracing of diverse backgrounds into one cohesive body through the work of the Holy Spirit, signifying that our identity and unity in Christ surpass any former enmity or division.
