How CONVERTED Are You? - Jack R Elliott - October 1960

Jack R Elliott

Many kid themselves that they are converted and safe in Jesus Christ when they are not. They go along complacently - hurtling toward the lake of fire. This could be your case! HAVE you ASSUMED that you are SAFE in Jesus Christ? You need to check up and see! To be converted means to be CHANGED from the normal way you have always thought and acted to a NEW, spiritually led, way of life (Rom. 8:1-7). To continue in this new way is life; to depart, death. Some, who once sought to be exalted in their community, now seek to be exalted among the Church brethren. This is not a REAL CHANGE of attitude. They have merely changed their environment. The same old vanity still rules their lives. To be guided by the Holy Spirit means to be guided by the sound wisdom and love of God. A man does not have this mind naturally. To come to have it requires a change which is truly a MIRACLE. You cannot accomplish it by yourself. Nevertheless the accomplishment of such a change is what TRUE CONVERSION means. A holy and spiritual mind must come from God alone because only God has it to give. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
