The conversion process

"He says that even before a river falls in the ocean he trembles with fear."

Looking back on the travel set, the Alps, the mountains, the long winding road through the woods, through the villages, and see in front of an ocean so vast to enter
it's nothing but disappear forever.

This is how we are when we are about to face a new life in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the ocean, and we are the different rivers. When we are about to start a new life in Christ, we feel exactly like a river about to fall in the ocean, we tremble, we cry, we do not want to leave our essence, what we are used to seeing, and living.

"This is what the word of the Lord says in 2 Corinthians 5:17" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, a new creature he is, the old things have already passed away, behold, everything has become new. This passage is the fulfillment of what it says in Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out [...].

The process of conversion is similar to that of the river that disappears into the sea. There is a change, a restoration. At all times thousands of liters of fresh water becoming salty, that is RENOVATION. The fish that inhabited those sweet waters, will no longer be part of their new route, because how can a freshwater fish, inhabit salty waters? It is impossible. Fish are like sins, after the river disappears into the ocean, the fish are left behind, and do not accompany it.

And only when it enters the ocean is that fear disappears and the river will know that it is not about disappearing into the ocean, but that it becomes ocean. On the one hand it is disappearance and on the other hand it is RENAISSANCE.

"In fact, actually I tell you that one is born again can not see the kingdom of God." (John 3:32)
