APOSTLE EMMANUEL OSEZELE’S GOSPEL OUTREACH

MSRPM DAILY DIVINE INSPIRATION

THURSDAY 09 MAY 2024

TITLE: CONVERTED (PART 1)

KEY TEXT: MARK 1:15: KJV: “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel.”

After regeneration, an elect individual "sees" the truth of the gospel and responds to the effectual call as he/she undergoes CONVERSION, which consists of repentance and faith. The message of Jesus to the people was, "Repent and believe the good news!" And he reprimanded the chief priests and the elders of the people that they did not repent and believe under the ministry of John the Baptist. Matthew 21:23,32

The word "conversion" signifies a turning, and includes both repentance and faith. Repentance is the part of conversion in which a person turns from sin, while faith is where he turns to Christ for salvation. The close connection between repentance and faith is also indicated in Hebrews 6:1, where it says the "elementary teachings about Christ" consists of "repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God." The writer calls this the "foundation" or beginning of the Christian life. Romans 6:23

In REPENTANCE, the sinner first comes to a true intellectual realization of his sinful condition. Since God has already regenerated him, he finds this sinful condition unpleasant and determines to turn from both the lifestyle consisting of sins and the individual acts of sins. Repentance is willful and not emotional. Although intense emotions may accompany the turning of the mind, it is not necessarily a defining element. Of course, a mental state that consists of nothing more than an emotional upheaval over one's sins and shortcomings without a deliberate act of turning does not constitute repentance, and therefore is not associated with faith and justification. 1 Thessalonians 1:9

PRAYER: O Lord, my God, I desire to do your will and be fully and truly dedicated to you. Grant me the grace to tell others about you, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION: Romans 10:14: KJV: “How, then, will they call out to him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"
