What does conversion entail after being spiritually awakened?
Answered in 1 source
Conversion involves turning from dead works to trust solely in Christ for salvation.
Following spiritual awakening, a process referred to as conversion occurs, which is turning away from reliance on dead works and embracing faith in Christ alone. As seen with Lazarus after his resurrection, who was instructed to be loosed from his grave clothes, believers are similarly called to shed their former ways of self-justification and works-based righteousness (John 11:44). This conversion is not merely intellectual assent but a heart transformation that results in a new life lived in communion with Christ. True conversion involves recognizing that all righteousness comes from Christ and is imputed to us, freeing us from the shackles of legalism and self-righteousness.
