Introduction: What Is Christian Conversion?
In this lesson we examine the process by which our lives can be turned to God—the process of conversion.
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)
What does it mean to be converted? By the middle of the 20th century hundreds of millions of people had been politically converted to the atheistic way of life promoted by the Communist Party. But conversion to communism led people away from God rather than drawing them to Him.
Clearly, not all conversions are God-inspired. Zealous advocates of almost all ideologies, philosophies and religions attempt to convert others to their own way of thinking.
Wanting to convert others to a different way of life can be a noble aspiration. But who has the right to decide which way of life is best?
That right belongs exclusively to the Creator God. As our Maker, He alone determines the ultimate standards we must follow if we are to live in peace and harmony with Him and each other.
