Our first look at the topic of Conversion. Conversion is a matter of regeneration. It is to be brought from darkness to light, it is to be recreated, it is to come from death to life. It is not a matter of being nice, but new. If this is not the case, you are busy playing a religious game.
Are you a Newborn?
We look at what a new person looks like. If we would be right with God, we don’t need to improve ourselves. We need a complete restart. Christians aren’t people who pray a prayer and tries hard to be good. Instead, a Christian is someone whose heart has been transformed/made new by God’s grace, who is characterized by repentance and faith, who desires to be with God and know Him more.

Whose Job is it any way?
What job do we as believers have in our conversion? What we will see in this video is our job as believers. Not that we can save ourselves, but we have a responsibility in living out our conversion. The job of a believer is to repent daily and take up new worship of God. “Real repentance is new worship. It looks like a changed life, but that changed behavior results from a change of worship, not the other way around”.
Where Is Your Loyalty?
Our lives don’t validate the world anymore but contradict it. What does it mean to be holy or loyal to God? We are looking at what it means to be holy as God calls us to be. “We don’t love because we feel love. We love because we have been loved, and that love has changed us”.
