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

Answered in 6 sources

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

The concept of the new creation is foundational in Scripture, particularly expressed in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where Paul asserts, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.' This transformation is not merely an external change but a radical internal renewal by the sovereign grace of God. The old nature, which is sinful and corrupt, is replaced with a new heart that desires to follow God's commandments. This new creation is a work of God's grace, emphasizing that salvation is not a cooperative effort but the decisive work of Christ alone.
