I have seen this firsthand with people I went to Sunday school with back in the 1960s. They weren't the best people in high school and afterwards, but they are better now. One is a church deacon, and his brother is a preacher who has gone on mission trips to Africa. Another, who has since died, was a better person when he was older. His sister sang in church when a child, and recently has put out a gospel album. The Bible verse is truth.
