No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin it will always be a snake. Remember that before allowing certain people back into your life.

The meaning is that outward change that doesn’t affect the heart is a useless show. When there is a change of heart, you have a new person. Let me quote from Jesus:

John 3:1-3 

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.  This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 

The new birth is the real thing. It is not just turning over a new leaf.

Give it some thought.
