How does God actively convert us?

Conversion is not merely a decision made by the individual; it is God's sovereign act of changing the heart. Ephesians 2:1 states that we were dead in our sins but made alive in Christ. The Holy Spirit plays a key role in this regeneration process, as emphasized in John 3:3, where Jesus declares, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This work of the Spirit enables us to turn from our idols and trust in Christ alone for salvation. Through the continued work of the Spirit, believers are drawn to Christ and empowered to live in accordance with His will.
