CONVERSION

By Daisy Morse

1. What is the natural condition of man?

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:23.

2. What is sin?

“Sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4, last part.

3. Can we keep the law while we have this nature?

“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:7.

4. What then must we do in order to be saved?

“Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 18:3.

“CONVERT.—To change to another form or state.” —Webster.

5. Who only can make this change in us?

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36.

6. What kind of a nature does He give us?

“According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue; whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3, 4.

7. What is necessary on our part?

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19.

8. What leads to repentance?

“The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.” Rom. 2:4, last part.

9. What is it our privilege to believe?

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9.

10. How may we be kept in this condition?

“Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” 1 Peter 1:5.
