Getting Conversion Right........By Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer.....

Within God's word there is life that can speak to your soul and transform you.

In the parable of the four soils, Jesus relates how many people can hear the same message but respond differently. And as Pastor Lutzer explains the parable and the meaning of the four different soils, we'll not only be challenged to witness to others, we will be personally confronted to ask ourselves: have I really been converted?
Being a "good Christian" is not about performing certain actions. It is about growing in love for Christ and allowing His Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and lives. Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), the recipe-writer and taste-tester for our lives. As we seek to know God and glorify Him, we also get to enjoy Him (Psalm 73:25—26). The good Christian knows God, enjoys God, and grows in grace.
