The Greek Meaning of Conversion That Will Deepen Your Understanding of What It Means to Come Unto Christ
Keywords
conversion, personal agency, Peter’s faith
Abstract
During Jesus’s last earthly meal, the Passover, He said to Peter:
"I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Luke 22:32).
Is conversion something that happens to us—something that occurs because of the agency of an outside force? Are we to suppose that Peter was to wait until he was converted? To wait until some other entity or person exercises agency to make his conversion happen?
