Answering the question
How do you answer the question "Who are you?" When someone you know changes a great deal, it's hard to understand, especially if you don't have a good understanding of the reasons for the change.
If the readers so choose to follow this link, part of the why for the dramatic changes so many see but don't understand will become evident.
When people face suffering, they have one of two options; they can turn toward God, or away from Him. Sometimes in an hour of despair, the Good News presents itself and those that choose to follow the Good News are transformed into new beings in Christ. Sometimes this transformation is radical, sometimes, just noticeable. What kind of past a person had before kind of dictates the dramatic appearance of this transformation to others.
The story of the Apostle Paul demonstrates what a dramatic change Christ can have in a person's life. Saul, before Christ appeared to him, was dedicated to persecuting Christians and the early Church. Christ transformed Saul into Paul who is responsible for writing much of the New Testament and spreading the Good News to the Gentiles.
The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV); Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Paul's own life bears witness to this truth.
That's the answer to Wendi's and KP's question.
