Conversion as the Basis of Becoming the Disciple of Christ Modem Man feels morally and spiritually lost. This is a consequence of the modem deterioration of the sense of God, obfuscation of conscience, but also new cultural trends linked to secularism and relativism. From the Biblical standpoint conversion is a change of heart, which concerns not only the way of acting, but also thinking and evaluating. What is characteristic of the Biblical perspective of conversion is the conviction that reformation is not exclusively a human act. Although the essential subject of conversion remains Man, it is deeply rooted in the power of God’s mercy, which secures penance’s salutary efficacy. God’s mercy is therefore necessary and a Christian must be able to receive it, adopting the attitude of reformation. The “conviction about sin” in the Holy Spirit makes a human not only recognize the constraining force of sin, but take the path of redemptive penance leading to forgiveness and reconciliation, through the acceptance of the truth about God’s mercy. Through conversion, the Holy Spirit reveals the full value of Man’s freedom, peace and joy.
