Can I Really Be Changed?
Jesus said you must be converted before you can enter the Kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3). Have you been converted? “Oh,” you say, “I’m a Christian. I go to church. I’ve been baptized. I have done all the things my church has told me to do.”
A Message by Billy Graham
But convert means to change from one form to another, and there are many types of conversions that we could talk about. Some things are easy to convert. For example, we have to change our money into the various currencies in the countries that we go to. You go to a bank, and they’ll exchange it for you. That’s called conversion.
Or take electricity. In the United States, we usually have 110 volts of electricity in whatever appliance we’re using. And you convert to 220 volts when you go to Europe or to some other countries. You flip a switch or use a small converter.
Other things are more difficult to change. For example, we convert old paper and glass and cans into new products that can be useful. Or we convert pounds and inches to the metric system.
People, though, are the most difficult to convert. Only God can do that, and it must be done by the Holy Spirit. That’s why it’s important that when you feel the tug of the Holy Spirit in your heart to repent and be converted, you don’t wait. Scripture tells us it’s very dangerous to put it off.
