Conversion leads to behavioral change as it signifies a turning away from sin and a new life in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The process of conversion results in a profound change in behavior as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: 'Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.' This verse highlights that a true conversion experience brings about a new identity, reshaping values, priorities, and actions according to God’s will. As believers become more Christ-like, their motivations and behaviors reflect their new nature. They begin to manifest the fruits of the Spirit and exhibit characteristics such as love, patience, and kindness, demonstrating the reality of their transformation.
