Repentance:
An interesting change of perspective happens when we start viewing everyone as a child of God and that everyone is to be saved and repentant:
As like we start seeing things like a drunken bum laying in a gutter and our first thought might be = "To Hell with them".
So that changes when we start seeing every other person as not yet saved, and then there is a feeling of wonder for some person like a drunken bum because one day they will be great and be our equal before God.
Not just drunks or bums, but Kings and terrorist and our enemies and nonbelievers and infidels will all become born again as true children of God whether any of them like it or not - and then we must view them in the better light of God for His lost children.
When we view sinners as damned to a Hell then it is easy to turn thy back to thy neighbors and to strangers, instead of rightfully having consideration and compassion for the people who we may help or encourage.
