How does God bring about conversion in a person's life?

Conversion is a vital aspect of the Christian experience, described in Isaiah 2 as God's gracious work in the hearts of His chosen. It begins when God gives life and faith to a sinner, an act accomplished by the Holy Spirit. Jesus teaches in John 16:8-11 that the Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, creating awareness of one's desperate need for Christ. This transformation is not a mere moment but a continual process of turning more towards the Lord, as emphasized in the assurance that God will complete the work He has begun (Philippians 1:6). God brings the sinner to a point of desperation, breaking their pride and self-sufficiency so they may find refuge in Him.
