Conversion is something like making an about-face. In the military the terms “right face” or “about face” are used for turning troops to one side or the other. Conversion means turning toward God and becoming ever more directed toward God. Christ was talking about conversion when he said, “Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt. 5:48). When will we be perfect like God? Christ’s purpose is to inspire a movement without limits, which is conversion.

Conversion means asking at every moment: What does God want of my life?
