Conversão
A conversão é o ato de se voltar para Deus — arrependendo-se do pecado e abraçando a graça. É o início de uma vida nova, transformada pelo amor de Cristo.
Arrependei-vos
Arrependei-vos e convertei-vos para que os vossos pecados sejam apagados. A conversão começa com a mudança de mente e coração.
19 Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, and that the times of repose may come to you from before the presence of the Lord;
38 Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
30 For the times of error Aloha hath made to pass away; and in this time he commandeth all men, that every man in every place should repent;
17 From that time began Jeshu to preach, and to say, Repent! for the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh.
8 Work, therefore, fruits which are suitable to repentance.
15 And he said, The time is complete; the kingdom of Aloha cometh: repent, and believe the gospel.
O amor de Deus converte
Céu se alegra por um pecador que se arrepende. Deus não deseja a morte do ímpio, mas que se converta e viva.
7 I say to you, that thus shall there be joy in heaven over one sinner who repenteth, more than over the ninety and nine just ones who have no need of repentance.
10 I say to you, that so shall there be joy before the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
32 I am not come to call the just, but the sinners, to repentance.
9 Not dilatory is the Lord in his promises, as some consider delay; but is patient on your account, not willing that any man should perish, but (that) every man to repentance should come.
Transformação
Voltai-vos para mim e sereis salvos! Rasgai o coração e não as vestes. A verdadeira conversão transforma o interior.
19 All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
5 Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry.
13 nor prepare your members the instruments of iniquity unto sin, but prepare yourselves for Aloha, as men who from the dead have been made alive, and your members instruments to be for the righteousness of Aloha.
1 My brethren, if a man of you be overtaken by a fault, you who are in the Spirit, regain him, in the spirit of meekness, and beware lest you also be tempted.
21 Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls.
