YOU
MUST BE BORN AGAIN . . . Do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is
that good and acceptable "(Romans 12:2).
Immediately after the
Church began, Peter healed a widely known beggar who had been lame since
birth (Acts 3:1-10). This extraordinary event drew the undivided
attention of everyone in the temple area. Immediately "all the people
ran together...greatly amazed" (verse 11). Peter advised the astonished
crowd, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out" (Acts 3:19).
Paul, on another occasion, wrote to the Christian
converts in Rome, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2) What do these
commands— repent, be converted, be transformed
—mean to anyone who
wishes to be a part of the Church of God? The word translated repent,
the Greek metanoeo, literally means"to perceive afterwards" ( Vine'Complete
Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, 1985, "Repent").
It conveys the concept that one must recognize and admit his sins and
acknowledge the need to change his mind, heart and behavior. The word
converted is translated from the Greek epistrepho, which means "to turn
about" or "turn towards" ( Vine's, "Convert, Conversion"). It indicates
that, in addition to recognizing and acknowledging sin, one is taking
the necessary action to turn away from sin by turning toward God. This
requires doing what is right, not just acknowledging what is wrong. The
word transformed is translated from the Greek metamorphoo. It implies
major or total change— a transformation comparable to the metamorphosis
of a caterpillar into a butterfly. All three of these concepts clarify
the profound change God expects of Christians—a spiritual transformation
we commonly call conversion. But no one can bring about such remarkable
transformation by himself, through his own power.The preceding words
describe a miraculous shift in thinking and behavior that occurs in
people who receive God's Spirit. Only those who are
converted—spiritually transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit—are
Christians (Romans 8:9). EVEN SO LORD JESUS amen
KUNA UZIMA WA MILELE KATIKA KRISTO YESU.
