What does the Bible say about being persuaded to be a Christian?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true conversion is not about being persuaded but is a work of God in the heart.

In Acts 26:28, King Agrippa responds to Paul by saying, 'Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.' This highlights a common misconception that one can simply decide to follow Christ based on rational arguments or persuasion. However, true conversion is a divine act where God opens a person's eyes and turns them from darkness to light (Acts 26:18). It's vital to understand that salvation is not based on human will or decision but is entirely a work of God's grace and purpose.
