What does the Bible say about turning to the Lord?

Answered in 7 sources

Turning to the Lord involves a God-given, Holy Spirit-wrought faith in Jesus Christ, leading to repentance from self-righteousness and sin.

The Bible describes turning to the Lord as a transformation wrought by the Holy Spirit, where a believer turns away from their own efforts or works and turns to Christ alone for salvation. In 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, it says, 'Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.' This implies that true turning occurs when God opens the heart to understand one's own depravity and the necessity of Christ's righteousness. This process signifies acknowledging Christ as the sole Savior and recognizing the futility of self-reliance.
