In this text, Paul makes clear that his worldview has been re-shaped by God’s work of “new creation.” By God’s work of reconciliation, a new creation transformation takes place in the life of the believer, including how he or she evaluates the world and everything in it. In this passage we see three aspects of new creation living:

1. New Creation Transformation (5:16–17)

2. New Creation Reconciliation (5:18–21)

3. New Creation Proclamation (6:1–2)
