New Creatures in Christ 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST [there’s the expression “in Christ”], he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. What a revolutionary truth this scripture is for the Church to teach, believe, and confess! We are new creatures in Christ Jesus. We are not just forgiven sinners. We are not poor, weak, staggering, sinning, “barely-getting-along” church members. That is not who we are. We are new creatures, created by God in Christ Jesus. Paul said, writing to the Church in Ephesus, that we are created by God in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:10). Therefore, we are new creatures created in Christ Jesus with the life of God, the nature of God, and the ability of God in us. Second Corinthians 5:17
