( 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 ; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature , old things are passed away : behold all things are become new. ) This is what Jesus was trying to get across to Nicodemus , ye must be born again, old things are passed away behold all things have become new. The things you use to do, you don't do anymore , the things you use to hate now you love , the things you use to love now you hate . That which is born of Spirit is spirit , that which is born of flesh is flesh , those that worship God must worship him in Spirit and in truth. Now you are a new creature in Christ.
