New creation is an act of God in Christ. Through the gospel of our Lord Jesus, we become a new creation. God who created us in our mother's womb, now creates us anew in Christ. New creation is by the Holy Spirit, through the implanted Word of God in your heart (James 1:18). Your mind, will, and emotions are changed by the Holy Spirit.
New life is by grace through faith in Christ. You have a new identity with a new life. Old things pass away. God forgives all your sins, and you start a new life. That's your new creation in Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
God takes away our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ and gives us the righteousness of Christ (1 John 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:21). God has a purpose in your new life, and that purpose is always good. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Your old life is viewed as buried in baptism (Romans 6:4). You are raised by God's grace to new life in Christ. You are not a prisoner to the old things of the past. Trust God to bless and use your new life in Christ. Remember that old things have passed away. Trust God to do new things in your life, because you have new life in Christ.
