2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

This is a fact. No matter how you feel. No matter what difficulties you are going through. No matter what your family linage is. When you trust Christ, you are one with Christ. You are a new creation. The old has gone and the new has come. You are born again. 1John 4:15 captures the magnitude of this transformation.

1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (makes HIS home) in him, and he (makes his home) in God.
