the ultimate change

Salvation through Christ is not a passive, serene process. it is dynamic, explosive, and revamping procedure. it changes us from the condemned and guilty enemies of God to His chosen, righteous children. the problem is that this is something already done for us and we simply accept it.  if salvation was something that occurred at the precise moment we wanted it to, my guess is we wouldn't even be able to handle it and be completely devastated (physically).  instead, we accept Salvation after the fact. because of this, there isn't much initial change in our behavior. the only thing that changes is the spiritual crossover from death to life (thank you LeCrae). however, we do know that our spirits have been changed so radically that it will affect us in our lives and the way we act.
