Why should Christians rejoice in the new creation?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should rejoice in the new creation because it signifies God's restoration and the joy of salvation that is already present in their lives (Isaiah 65:18).

Rejoicing in the new creation is foundational for Christians because it reflects the complete restoration God provides through Christ. In Isaiah 65:18, God proclaims that He creates Jerusalem as a rejoicing and her people a joy. This joy is not just future; it is experienced in the present as believers are united with Christ and partake in His righteousness. The joy of salvation is an ongoing reality that is increasingly realized as Christians await the final consummation of their hope. Thus, joy in the new creation is not only for the future but also a present blessing that shapes how believers live in the world.
