What does the Bible say about new things believers get in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers receive seven new things in Christ, including a new song, new wine, a new name, new mercies, and ultimately, becoming a new creature.

According to the sermon based on Acts 17, believers in Christ are promised several new things that reflect their new identity and relationship with God. These include a new song (Psalm 40:3), signifying a transformed heart that no longer seeks to be self-sufficient but recognizes Christ as the sole savior. Additionally, believers receive new wine (Proverbs 3:10), which symbolizes joy and gladness resulting from their salvation. A new name is also given (Isaiah 62:2), transforming their status from 'forsaken' to 'married' to God. Furthermore, believers experience new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), ensuring that God's compassion renews them daily. This culminates in becoming a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), reflecting the complete transformative work of Christ in their lives.
