1. Be Converted

2. Religion of Christ is a religion of conversion. Strong’s G1994 – epistrepho "to turn about, turn towards" Acts 3:19 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, 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

3. We must be converted. Romans 6:3-8, cf. John 3:3-5 Romans 6:17-18 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

4. The conversion is not miraculous. John 6:44-45 1 Peter 2:1-3 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17 John 8:31, 51

5. The conversion is not miraculous. Colossians 3:1-10 Ephesians 4:17-24 Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

6. The conversion must be manifested. Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. Romans 6:21-23
