To understand the new creation, we need to start at the beginning when God said in Genesis 1:26" Let us make men into our image…." This was the start of the new creation that was born or created in the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. Born of God towards God through Christ Jesus. When God created Adam and Eve is was with this understanding that they would be like God, having all the power, knowledge, perfect love and authority that can only come from God. The were created as the perfect humans walking the earth with all of God within them and around them. With the fall off men all that would have come afterwards would be walking under that cloud of judgement of sin. Everybody was born into sin after that because of what Adam and Eve has done. Not only have they committed sin but they gave up the life God created for them, the perfection of being a human without sin, sickness, lack, shame, fear and the fulness of the Creator. They took themselves out of the presence of God and all the human beings that would be born including all of us, therefor God had to do something to bring us as humans back into Him. Knowing that Adam and Eve would fail, the plan God had created was always and will always be the only plan and that is that men should be in the image of the Son Jesus Christ who would come as the first born of all. Jesus was always the plan from the beginning of time and is still the plan today. Adam and Eve gave up the authority they had and got from God over for a life of sin, a life of sickness, a life of lack, a life of fear, a life of hardship and a life without the presence of God. A life God never intended for us to have at all.
