Lesson 9.1
ADDITIONAL LESSON POINTS
There are three parts of conversion identified in the Augsburg Confession.
Through the means of repentance narratives in the Bible and real-life experiences, the student will understand that God has established a single means of entering the fellowship of His grace which we call conversion.
Conversion happens in only one way; it is not a process of evolving, but is a particular event which happens in the twinkling of an eye.
