Conversion: Repentance and Faith
from Teaching the Faith in Order Hosted by Systematic Studies
Episode Description What does it mean to truly respond to the gospel? In this session, we examine the biblical doctrine of conversion—the human response to God's saving work through repentance and faith. Building on the previous lesson about regeneration, this chapter explores how genuine conversion involves both turning away from sin and turning toward Christ in wholehearted trust. The discussion also addresses one of the best-known debates in modern evangelical theology: the relationship between faith, repentance, obedience, and the evidence of genuine conversion. Throughout the lesson, listeners are encouraged to evaluate their lives in light of Scripture while resting in Christ's finished work rather than their own performance. Topics include: The definition of conversion Repentance and saving faith Turning from sin to Christ Evidence of genuine conversion Faith versus mere intellectual belief Fruit in the Christian life Lordship Salvation and Free Grace perspectives Growing in holiness Session 35 Chapter 35 – Conversion Source Information Dr. David P.
