Part 5: True and False Conversions
Romans 1:16 says that the Gospel is the power of salvation. Many false messages are out there. Many people who go to church and claim to be Christian live in the same way that the people of the world live. Why is that? It is possible, that these people are really false converts.
It is very important that we share the Gospel truthfully. Paul prayed that above all else he would do this.
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. – Colossians 4:2-6
In our efforts to Evangelize, it is our desire to share the true Biblical Gospel. Then God waters the seed and it grows into faith of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. To understand the difference between the true and false conversions, I encourage you to watch the second of Living Waters’ foundational messages. This is episode 17 of Way of the Master, which is summarized as “The Bible has much to say on the subject of false conversion. This vital teaching will persuade you to remain within the bounds of Scripture when reaching out to the lost.” A study guide is also available that you can fill out as you listen.
What’s next? If you have not already repented and trusted in Christ alone to save you then do that right away. You can review the Gospel message online. It is the most important thing you can do. If you have already done that, then why not start sharing your faith today. Enroll in the Bezeugen Tract Club and get 30 free Gospel tracts to hand out “As You Go!” Then join us for an Evangelism Seminar to get equipped to share the Gospel Biblically and effectively.
