People change when they give their life to the Lord. I’ve seen plenty of evidence of this.
So why do we judge others?
If you have a past, you get judged.
But do people truly change? The answer is YES. (through Christ)
Blessed is he who has forgiveness of his transgression continually exercised upon him, whose sin is covered. (Psalm 32:1)
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and each of them he delivers. (Psalm 33:7)
Let’s give people a chance. A second chance. Jesus did.

The Son of God suffered unto the death, not that men might not suffer, but that their sufferings might be like His.
