The Narrow and Wide Gates

Greetings Brethren,

Conversion takes place when the guilty sinner, due to his deep desire and determination, commits to believe wholly upon the Lord Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior, resolving to submit his entire life to do His will. In short, conversion is the experience when a sinner becomes a true Christian, a committed disciple of Jesus Christ. Conversion is transformative. Upon conversion a whole new life begins, so much so, that the apostle Paul calls the Christian life "newness of life" (Rom. 6:4), "newness of the Spirit" (Rom. 7:6), "the new man" (Col. 3:10; Eph. 4:24), and even a "new creation." But it is critically important for us to understand that true conversion can only be experienced through the life-transforming grace of God. We address this important matter today.
