What does the Bible say about being a new creation?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that anyone in Christ is a new creation, where old things have passed away and all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
2 Corinthians 5:17 states that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, indicating a profound transformation at the moment of conversion. This transformation is not superficial; it is a work of divine power comparable to God's act of creation in Genesis. Through this new birth, the believer experiences a radical change that affects their views, motives, and life purposes, marking them distinctly from their former self and the world. The old ways of thinking and living fade away, highlighting the astounding grace of God.
