A
conversion is incomplete if it does not leave Jesus Christ in the central place
in one's life. The shortest possible
description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would
fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus
Christ is Lord." Herbert
Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and
for the rest be totally uncommitted."
Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely
to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect.
