Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Once you become a Christ follower, you experienced a changed life. The old has gone and the new has come. God no longer sees you as a sinner in the world but as a saint in Jesus. In fact, you’ve been adopted into God’s family. You are one of His children! It’s important that we understand our position in Christ and that we get our identity and significance from Him and not the world.
