According to C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity, which of the following is true about becoming a “new man” in Christ?

### Why this is right - **It means more than copying Jesus’ moral instructions.** Lewis describes Christ as actively transforming people, not merely as a teacher to imitate. - **It involves receiving a new kind of life through Christ.** He calls this participation in Zoe, spiritual life. - **It requires a transformation of the person, not just surface improvement.** Lewis distinguishes redemption from simply becoming a more polished version of the old self. ### The concept Lewis sees Christian life as participation in Christ’s life. This transformation depends on divine action, though human beings may resist or consent to it. He also insists that unity in Christ does not make all people identical; he describes distinct persons as contributing different qualities. ### The other options - **C. It erases every individual difference between Christians.**: Lewis argues that life in Christ brings out genuine individuality. - **E. It is entirely achieved by unaided human effort.**: Lewis repeatedly says that the new life comes from God and is shared through Christ. ### Terms - **Zoe**: Spiritual life that Lewis says is shared through Christ. ### Remember Christian transformation is new life in Christ, not mere imitation or self-improvement.
