2 Cor.5.17 – “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
This means that a new person in Christ is a man with a completely changed mindset, who is no longer a slave to sin.
The new creation portrays a newborn, with a new soul and Spirit in the transformed old body. He awakes to New realities, purposes, feelings, desires, and understandings. He becomes more of God and man than self. Yielding completely to the Holy Spirit.
To understand the new creation indeed, we must know that it is truly a creation, something created by God. In John 1:13 the Bible tells us that this new birth was brought about by the will of God out of His love for us. We did not inherit the new nature from our parents rather God created something entirely fresh and unique for a new beginning.
Also, “old things have passed away.” The “old” things refers to everything that was part of our old man from birth – pride, ego, love of sin, reliance on our works, hatred and our former belief, opinions, attitudes and passions. To a new man in Christ, his selfish, self-centered self-righteousness have passed away, living all for Christ. Are you a “NEW” Creation indeed.
