Conviction doesn’t mean Regeneration

By Eric William King

Your sinful nature is most deceitful. Just because you might “feel” that something that you did was bad does not mean that you are a born again Christian. Conviction does not necessarily mean true regeneration.

There are some people who do not know the will of God because they do not read their Bible’s nor talk to fellow Christians. They live their lives seeming to know what is right and wrong but never ask for the forgiveness of their sins on a daily bases, thus they have no true relationship with the True Christian God, Yahweh.

They may say that they “believe” in Jesus but to them that just means that they believe that He was once a real person, they believe that they have their own conscience to direct them. This is sadly the state of most people who call themselves Christian. Are you truly converted?

Just because you might live a somewhat responsible life doesn’t mean that you are a true Christian either. Jesus said that only if you “remain in His word” and talk to the Heavenly Father daily are you in a good fellowship (John 8:31-32). Don’t deceive yourself and call yourself a Christian if you are not in His church. To be a true Christian you must be in the church that He built and you must have a desire to WORSHIP God.

To call yourself a Christian and not have a life of worship is fake. You are not to take for granted anything that Jesus said. To say that you do not believe in “certain parts” of the Bible and call yourself Christian is also fake. Jesus used the whole Bible and stated it as fact (Luke 24:27; 2^nd Timothy 3:16).

A person may be learned in psychology and philosophy but truly unlearned in God’s word. Many place the word of men and women above the word of Divine Intelligence. This is sad. When a true Christian hears somebody call themselves a Christian and finds out that that person does not attend church, pray, or read God’s word then he knows he is in front of a liar.

Then you have people say things like “You can’t judge whether I am a true Christian or not!” to which the true Christian may properly respond with; “I am not judging you. The Bible explains what a true Christian is, not me.” You see, we know what God wants and likes because we have His revealed Word. Again, sadly, those who wish yet another excuse will say that the Bible is not wholly correct. Do you begin to see now how corrupt and deceitful the human sinful nature is?

Test whether or not you are a true regenerated Christian and not just a convicted sinner.

Trusting in God’s word above all else.
