What Happens in Conversion

Are you happy to answer for yourself, as the apostle Paul was before king Agrippa? Paul says that he was happy to speak to king Agrippa and the governor Festus about what Christ had done for him. Are you happy to be able to witness to people and tell them what it means to be converted to Christ? How can people be saved without their understanding that conversion to Christ is absolutely necessary to becoming a true Christian and in order to live the Christian life?
And so, at this hour, I want you to think with me of what happens when you are converted to Christ. 1st of all – When you are converted to Christ, your manner of life changes. (verses 1-11) 2nd – When you are converted to Christ your understanding of Christ and the Church changes immediately. (verses 12-15) And 3rd – When you are converted to Christ you understand more of what your mission is. (verses 16-18)
In presenting these things to you, I hope that you will see that your witnessing to people around you is not all that different from the apostle Paul's, and I pray that you will be happy to be his witness to people around you; to explain to them what it means to be converted.
