“When a person is born anew and experiences repentance, his attitude about Jesus changes. Jesus himself becomes the central focus and supreme value of life. Before the new birth happens and repentance occurs, a hundred other things seem more important and more attractive: health, family,  job,  friends,  sports, music, food, sex, hobbies, retirement. But when God gives the radical change of the new birth and repentance, Jesus himself becomes our supreme treasure.” - John Piper from the book titled “What Jesus demands of the world” Page 44
