When an unbeliever comes to faith in Jesus, through whatever circumstance, they change. And along with those changes life now becomes a different experience where those things once thought to be good are now filtered through the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. And that new path can be challenging because it can be a lonely path at times and Jesus made it clear that difficulties await the child of God because of that new path. But it is the path that leads to real life here and in eternity.
