2 Corinthians 5:17 in the original text, and reflected in the King James Version, states that "the new is come" (emphasis mine). This means that it is an ongoing process and not an instantaneous action.
This makes sense because none of us are perfect Christians right after the prayer of salvation and the decision to change. It takes days, months, and even years to achieve the image and likeness of Christ.
Therefore, we should not be discouraged but rater ENCOURAGED by knowing that it is not over but just beginning. Every day is a new day and a chance to begin it right.
