There is ample testimony among Christians who embraced Christ as their Lord and Savior that radically changed their lives. They have become different from what they used to be. The transforming process is not instantly quick but rather like growing progressively in varying degrees. Christ should make a difference in one’s life and one sign is how he views the world. It is no longer attractive to love the world and the things of the world and remain under its influence after conversion to Christ. 
 
Becoming a Christian not only changes one’s position from a citizen of the earth to a citizen of heaven; it changes one’s disposition making his lifestyle on this earth different to the extent that he may look strange or queer, perhaps curious, even offensive to the standard of the world.
 
This is what the great Apostle Peter remarkably explained :
 
" You have had enough in the past of the evil things the godless enjoy—sex sin, lust, getting drunk, wild parties, drinking bouts, and the worship of idols, and other terrible sins.[a]
4 Of course, your former friends will be very surprised when you don’t eagerly join them anymore in the wicked things they do, and they will laugh at you in contempt and scorn. 5 But just remember that they must face the Judge of all, living and dead; they will be punished for the way they have lived."
