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 ye therfore and turne yt youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshinge commeth which we shall have of the presence of the Lorde
38 Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost.
30 And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
17 From yt tyme Iesus begane to preache and to saye: repet for ye kigdome of heve is at hode.
8 Brynge forth therfore the frutes belongynge to repentauce.
15 and sayinge: the tyme is come and the kyngdome of God is at honde repent and beleve the gospell.
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.
