What does it mean to have a new creation in Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Being a new creation in Christ means we are transformed internally, with a new heart and spirit that delights in God's will.

To be a new creation in Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, signifies a radical transformation brought about by the Holy Spirit. This change includes having a new heart, new desires, and a new capacity to live in accordance with God's will. Our old nature, which is only capable of sin, has been crucified with Christ, and now we operate from a new perspective that aligns with the mind of Christ. This concept underscores the work of regeneration—where God imparts spiritual life and grants us the ability to believe, repent, and produce fruit consistent with our new identity as His children. Ultimately, this transformation is for His glory, as it reflects His goodness and grace at work in our lives.
