INCOMPLETE CONVERSION - Part 3

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.

-- William Barclay (1907-1978) in In the Hands of God
