“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
The AMP rendering explains the scripture better, it says
“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!”
When God created man, man was a living soul. This means that man was a Spirit soul. Genesis 2:7 says,
“And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
But there was an image that man was not made into during the creation. Ephesians 4:24 says,
“And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
God gave Adam the residue of the Spirit which is the psuche. God made the first Adam in the “us” image. (Genesis 1:26 tells us,

There is nothing made in the image of God that can be subject to the devil. Jesus became the last Adam. While He lived, two natures ran inside Him: Divinity and Humanity. He did not go through the normal conceiving process, so He wouldn’t be subject to what the first Adam was. But by the reason of the death and crucifixion of Jesus, He introduced a whole new life to humanity.

This is your new life in Christ. Jesus first abolished flesh; then made in Himself, one new man. He expects that you grow in to the full measure of the stature of Christ, that is, measure up to Christ.
Ephesians 4:13 says,
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”
Oh! What a life. The Gospel of the new life is unending. You have been translated from Psuche to Zoe
