Can people change? Sometimes, we give in to the belief that people are incapable of change. We are who we are. But God believes people can change—both the righteous and the wicked. In Ezekiel 33:18-19 God says, “When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it. And when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he shall live by this.”
Sadly, there are times when people who are faithful to the Lord choose to turn back to worldly and sinful ways. That change is possible, and all Christians should be wary of attitudes and decisions that might lead us to such an awful change. But the wicked can also change. The sinner can repent. The faithless can become faithful. God has always called the wicked to turn away from sin, and Jesus died so that such change can result in eternal life.
