What does the Bible say about being a new creation in Christ?

Answered in 28 sources

The Bible teaches that being a new creation in Christ is essential, as neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts, but a new creation does (Galatians 6:15).

In Galatians 6:15, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision have any value; what truly matters is being a new creation. This transformation is the inward work that the Holy Spirit accomplishes in believers, renewing their hearts and making them partakers of the divine nature. As such, believers are called to abide under the rule of Christ, living by faith and love rather than by the law, which does not contribute to their righteousness or holiness. This new nature directs them to glorify only in the cross of Christ, recognizing that true acceptance before God comes through faith in Jesus alone. Therefore, obedience and good works stem from this new creation, evidencing the believer's transformation and life in Christ.
