You are so correct.
When God does a work upon a life, all is “new” according to the gospel promise in the New Testament.
The “new” woman in Christ was quite first-class to her pastor husband. They are an exceptionally happy couple to this day.
There are some things that I have done in my life that I am not proud of, but because of his forgiving grace, I no longer have to judge myself by those things.
It is ashame that some people don’t realize that this is what God is like and that they too can live a life free of shame through forgiveness and mercy. We could all benefit from trying to be more like Him.
