What does the Bible say about being a new creation?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the apostle Paul explains that everyone who is in Christ is a new creation. This transformation signifies that God has regenerated the believer, creating something entirely new within them. As a result, the old ways of life, characterized by sin and rebellion, have passed away, making way for a new life characterized by righteousness and holiness. This new creation is a work initiated and sustained by God, ensuring that the believer's identity is now rooted in Christ. The significance of this change is profound, as it highlights God’s mercy and grace, which are essential for salvation.
