The Dirt Didn't Change

When a soul comes out of the waters of baptism, they are returning to the exact same ground they left just a few minutes before....the dirt didn't change. So what is different about this new reality they are entering as they leave Corrupt Creation and enter God's New Creation? Imagine "life on earth" if gravity was optional and you had an internal jet engine at your disposal? And if God's New Creation is everything it's cracked up to be, what are the possibilities for God's Glory Story on earth?
