Lesson 2 Ù Genuine Conversion A topic that is discussed much…maybe misunderstood even more By “the religious (denominational) world” Even by N.T. disciples of Christ The Scripture teaches in clear terms what is involved in being truly converted

Lesson 2 Ù Genuine Conversion Understanding the basic concept… The root word for “conversion” literally means “to turn around; turn one’s self about” [Thayer] Biblical examples of this literal definition: Mk 5:30 Mt 5:39 7:6

Lesson 2 Ù Genuine Conversion Understanding the basic concept… Re: conversion to Jesus Christ, it means “to turn the heart or mind; to change one’s course of conduct” Biblical examples of this more figurative definition: Acts 7:39 15:3 3:19 11:21 1 Thess 1:6-9 Jas 5:19-20

Lesson 2 Ù Genuine Conversion Changed conduct or behavior (conversion) comes from a changed heart Mk 7:14-23 Actions always follow inward decisions The heart is the determining factor v. 19 One who has a “turned heart” (been converted) will exhibit proper conduct & choices In how he chooses to worship, serve God
