What does Paul mean by being a new creation in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being a new creation means that in Christ, believers are transformed and made spiritually alive (Galatians 6:15).

When Paul states in Galatians 6:15 that 'neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation,' he emphasizes the transformative power of the Gospel. This new creation refers to the radical change that occurs in believers at the point of regeneration; they are made spiritually alive through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This new identity supersedes any physical or religious rituals, marking a believer’s total transformation into Christ’s likeness. Moreover, being in Christ means a new perspective on life and a new way of living, characterized by faith, obedience, and love, reflecting the grace that has been freely given to them.
