An earthly doctor cures his patients by making them better day by day. Conversion is God's work in the heart of man to transform him from being a child of Satan into being a son of God.

Conversion is a complete turning from the old sinful life of Adam nature to the new life that is found only in Christ Jesus. Life in Him gives new motive power, new hopes, desires, relationships, a new road, a new owner, a new destiny.

1 Thess. 1:9, 10⁹For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; ¹⁰And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:9‑10), sums up the whole matter: "Ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for His Son from heaven.”
