answer:I’m not so sure it’s about how much a person changes, as much as it is about the person being forgiven of sin. It’s called grace. The agony of guilt has been relieved. This will seem odd to a person who doesn’t believe they are a sinner. Odder still to a person who doesn’t carry extra baggage of guilt for anything. But for those who compare themselves to the purported purity of the ****, previous unseen guilt weighs heavily by comparison, and is too great for the heart to bear. Grace, forgiveness of impurity is seen as a relief, a shedding of old skin so to speak. A rebirth. How that all manifests in a persons life is an individual result. I’d doubt that many folk do more than become over zealous about The Good News they just received. But for some, it is the beginning of a long journey of accepting imperfection in the eyes of their ****, and seeking to become less imperfect over time, mainly by expressing the same forgiving grace to others. Perhaps I’m mistaken.
