When you change your lifestyle people notice. Sometimes the sin you leave tries to drag you back through friends and family. When you choose to be more obedient to the Creator, the people around you will not only question your choice but they may also ridicule and laugh at you. Even Yeshua/Jesus said if you follow what he is teaching (and he taught to be faithful to the word of the Father) you will be persecuted. Psalm 35:10—11, “All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?” Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.”
