Summary/Abstract: The article presents a systematic view of the issue of „new life in Christ” from the perspective of dogmatic theology. In the context of Anti-Pelagian Resolutions and decisions of the Council of Trent about the predisposing grace, Christological foundation of the idea of new life is indicated (Christ - the new Adam, incarnation as an ontological basis of the mediation of Christ). Then,the idea of “new life” focuses mainly on the participation of a human being(through grace) in the relationship, in which the humanity of Christ participates by virtue of the hypostatic union. This is the basis for the action of a human being cooperating with God’s grace, which at the same time generate a process ending in the divinization.
