The New Testament is full of accounts of people experiencing a radical inner transformation, being “born again,” “born of the Spirit” or becoming a “new creation.” (see here, here, and here are a few references to this concept, and here for a story of people receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit)
The Apostle Paul, who himself experienced a radical inner transformation after a direct encounter with Jesus, wrote later in his letter to Titus:
“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,” (Titus 3:3-6)
