2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
in union with Christ: Lit., “in Christ.” Each spirit-anointed Christian enjoys a oneness with Jesus Christ. (Joh 17:21; 1Co 12:27) This special relationship comes into existence when Jehovah draws the individual to his Son and begets that individual with holy spirit.—Joh 3:3-8; 6:44.
he is a new creation: Each anointed Christian is a new creation—a spirit-begotten son of God with the prospect of sharing with Christ in the heavenly Kingdom. (Ga 4:6, 7) Though new material things have not been created since the end of the sixth creative day (Ge 2:2, 3), new spiritual things have been created.
new things have come into existence: Jesus became God’s initial “new creation” upon being anointed at his baptism as a spirit-begotten son of God with heavenly prospects. Additionally, Jesus and his anointed corulers collectively make up the Christian congregation, which is also a new spiritual creation.—1Pe 2:9.
