Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17
2 Corinthians 5:17 states that when a person is "in Christ," they become a new creation. This transformation is significant because it involves a spiritual rebirth and a change in the person's life. They are no longer slaves to sin and have the choice to let sin reign or to count themselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. This new creation is formed in the mind of God and created by His power and for His glory.
The New Living Translation states the verse this way: “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
Through faith, everyone is given an opportunity to become a completely new person, with a new nature and a new life. Will you take the opportunity? If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, please comment below.
