He was a forsaken sinner, but a command from Jesus, "Follow Me" (Mark 2:14), changed his life forever! It also influenced our lives in many wonderful ways, for that former, despised and forsaken by his own people tax collector wrote the first book of the New Testament. His name Levi was changed to "Matthew," which means "gift of Jehovah-God"
