What does the Bible say about new creation?

Answered in 3 sources

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

The concept of new creation in the Bible signifies profound transformation through Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it affirms that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and behold, the new has come. This emphasizes that God's work in salvation is not merely an improvement of the old self but a complete regeneration. It is a divine act of creation where God calls light out of darkness in the hearts of believers, similar to the initial act of creation in Genesis 1, where God spoke, and it was so. God creates believers anew, and this spiritual rebirth is essential for understanding and experiencing true fellowship with Him.
