- The issue of what it means for the church to be the new creation is addressed in this paper. This image comes from 2 Corinthians 5:16-21. The Apostle Paul makes it clear that it is the church, the gathered community, where one begins to see in a new way what God is doing. There were some very definite tensions for the first century Christians as they sought to live out their identity as the new creation. Paul believed that this new creation was not just something to look forward to in the future, but that it was an emerging reality for them in their day. Using the Corinthian situation, the church today seeks to discover how the 'eschaton' is present and visible in the midst of history in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The hope for this new future begins to control how the church believes, thinks, and acts in the present. The new creation is a reality now. Such a vision allows the church to live in the tensions of the already and the not yet and the theological and sociological realities of the church. The issue for the church is to shape a community which allows the people to see with gospel eyes.
