Hitchcock strives to show that people must become new creatures in order to be "in Christ" and details the way this is proved in scripture and through the natural depravity of mankind. He then goes on to explain the ways in which mankind does and does not change when becoming new. He claims that while a man remains the same in many ways after regeneration, he becomes different through having a new God, a new Savior, new hopes and fears, and having a new rule of life (meaning he is led by the will of God rather than self-interest).

Edward Hitchcock unnumbered sermon, "Regeneration," 1820 February 1 Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 123, "Evidences of Christian Character," 1822-July Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Edward Hitchcock's sermon based on 1 Peter 8:15. Drawing upon the "science of religion," Hitchcock examined the standards of Christian experience. He mentioned that he had "proceeded in the morning (if I may be permitted to borrow a phrase from our courts of civil law) to challenge many of those equivocal evidences" which Christians use to prove their piety. He recognized that in his audience "some in despair were led to say to themselves if these are not evidence of regeneration what evidence can be found?" The object of this discourse was to answer this question, to enumerate those "marks, given in scripture, by which real Christians can be distinguished from all hypocrites." Hitchcock noted the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1822 and 1843. Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 123, "Evidences of Christian Character," 1822-July
