A SERMOM ON CONVERSION.
iiiiMiiNiiFmi ' ' "

Preached by Rev. Perdue In the Chris¬
tian Church In Griffin.
Conversion. Acts 28,27.
The subject of Conversion js one of
transcendent importance because of
that which is involved in it. Pardon,
the gift of the Holy Spirit, and Heav¬
en are all in it.
Some preliminary considera¬
tions are indispensable to a clear un¬
derstanding of the subject of conver¬
sion.
1st. Pardon and Conversion are
not the same—pardon taking place in
the mind of God, and conversion,
taking place in the sinner.
2nd. Conversion precedes pardon,
and pardon is suspended upon it.
No conversion, no pardon.
3d, The idea of “being converted”
is not in the Bible. By an unhappy
translation, the words are there, but
not the idea of passivity, whereas, in
conversion man is active. Theprop-
er translation is “turn”—“that they
should heal (or forgive) them/- In
this I am sustained by the scholar¬
ship of the revisers.
Conversion involves at least three¬
fold change, and that includes the
whole man—his heart, his life and
his relations.
1st. The heart must be changed—
which is done by faith. Acts 15
9. But what do we mean by
a changed heart? God is his
own .best taterprejtpr, and to His
word w* go for qn explanation
“Absalom stole the hearts of the men
of Israel.” Read 11 g*m. 15, l-«,
and learn how he stole their affec¬
tions. Christ says “Lay up for your¬
selves treasures in Heaven—for
where your treasure is, there will
your heart be also.” The Apostle
explains this when he says “Set yonr
affections on things above, not on
a w Bwp l M?
2nd.« be changed. A
that this change of life is brought
about by repentance. There is no
geuuine repentance without reforma¬
tion of life.
3d. The state Or relationship must
be changed before conversion is con¬
summated. One most foreswear al¬
legiance to Baton and take the oath
of allegiance to Christ, before reason¬
ably expecting to enter into the en¬
joyment of the blessings and ameni¬
ties of full citizenship in the kingdom
of Christ. Thia relative change of
state or relationship is effected in
baptism, when properly preceded by
faith and repentance. Gal. 3,27.
This last change we would enquire
into more particularly; not because
more important than the change of
heart or the change of life; but be¬
cause less understood and perhaps
less appreciated. With us the ques¬
tion ought always to be, not, is it
necessary bnt does God require it.
Following the b»d career of the Apostle
Peter, to whom been given the
keys of the kingdom, with the prom¬
ise, “Whatsoever thou shalt loose
on earth shall be loosed in Heaven,
and whatsoever thou skalt bind on
earth shall be bound InHeaven,” we
find him at the very threshold of his
work preaching two ever memorable
sermons-oneontheday of Pente¬
cost, and the other at the beautiful
gat* of Solomon’s temple. Summing
up Ms discourse on the day of Pene-
costhe says “Repentind be baptis¬
ed eyeiry one of yon, in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive Hie gift of the
Holy Spirit.” Now there are four
items in this summing up, viz, repent ,
be: baptised, remission of sins, and
"the gift of the Holy Spirit. Act. I
2. 38.
Stumping up his discourse at the
beautiful gates he says, “Prepare ye
therefore and be converted, that your
sins may* be Wotted out, when the
times of refreshing shall come from
the presnsce of the Lord.” Here
again we have four items; via. Repent>
times of refreshing from the presenee
of the Lord. Acts 3.19.
Now as we would scarcely expect
an inspired Apostle to disagree with
himself in harmonizing these eight
items we may be able to find how
the state or relationship is changed.

2d “ Re bappseL j J

4th “ Gift of the Holy Spirit.
2d njgcpcasE,
1st item, Repent.
2d “ Be converted.
3d “ Sins blotted out.
4th “ Times of refreshing from
the Lord.
The first item in the first discourse
is “repent;” the first item in the sec¬
ond discourse is i ‘repent. ’’ The third
item in the first discourse is “remis¬
sion of sins;” the thirditem in t he oui” sec¬
ond discourse is “sins blotted
When sins are.remitted they are blot¬
ted ou b, and when blotted out they are
remitted; hence the items are inter-
changable. The fourth Item in the
first discourse is “the gift of the
Holy Sprit;” the fourth item in the
second discourse is “times of refresh¬
ing from the presence of the Lord.”
Thereby when we receive the Holy
spirit, we have a refreshing from the
Lord, and hence these two items m»y
be used interchangeably. It now only
remains to examine tne remaining
item in each discourse, which is in
the first, “be baptised,” and in the
second is “be converted/’ To make
Peter consistent with himself he
must use these items also interebnng-
ably; and there Is a sense In which to
“be baptised” means to be “eonvert-
ed.” Bnt how converted by bap¬
tism? Converted . in heart? No—
that is done by faith. Converted in
life? No~that is done by repent¬
ance—it is only the state or relation¬
ship that is converted in baptism.
This same Apostle Peter says Noah
was “saved by water—the like figure
whereunto even baptism doth also
now save us.” The water saved
Noah by taking him, after he had
followed implicitly God's directions
about preparing the Ark, and trans¬
lating him from the old sin cursed
world into a new world where He
himself had placed in the heavens
Hie bow of promise. All this is con¬
firmed by Paul in Gal. 3-26, 27.,
where be says “ye are all children of
God, by faith in Jesus Christ, for as
many of you as have been baptised
into Christ have put on Christ.”
