The Bible refers to this amazing miracle of transformation, from a defiled sinner to a perfect man or woman in Christ, as being "born again" (John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:23); becoming a "new creature" (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15); a "new lump" (1 Corinthians 5:7); a "new man" (Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10); a "new bottle" (Mark 2:21-22; Matthew 9:16-17; Luke 5:36-39); etc.
Biblia hueleza muujiza huu wa ajabu wa kubadilishwa, kutoka katika kuwa mdhambi kwenda katika mwanaume au mwanamke kamili katika Kristo, kama “kuzaliwa tena” (Yoh 3:3-8; 1 Pet 1:23); kuwa “kiumbe kipya” (2 Kor 5:17; Gal 6:15); “donge jipya” (1 Kor 5:7); “utu mpya” (Efe 4:24; Kol 3:10); “chupa mpya” (Mk 2:21-22; Mt 9:16-17; Lk 5:36-39); n.k.
