That's the part I'm asking about the most. Where are the believers that are turning from their sinful pasts, surrendering to Jesus, and bearing fruit.

Perhaps the answer lies in adjusting the order of your closing statement.

First, Surrender to Jesus. Know Him. Love Him. Seek Him. I have seen in my own life that as He increases, I decrease. I stopped "focusing" and "dwelling" on sin and started adoring, glorifying, exalting and proclaiming the Person, Jesus Christ. It change everything. Sin became exceedingly sinful. Christ became exceeding personal and powerful. Repentance was, and is, a spontaneous result of surrendering to Christ.
