And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

EZEKIEL 36:26, NASB

Until then, live out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

In Christ, you start over. “Born again” means your soul is cleaned and renewed, and God is changing the way you think, feel, and act.
You are no longer the old you. Walk in the new.
