Psalms 51:12: "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee."
There must be a hundred sermons in those two verses. All of them completely different and on different topics, such as, Joy, Restoration, Salvation, Transgressions, and conversions, etc., etc., etc..
But I just wanted to point out an interesting aside from the second verse. The Greek word dealing with conversion is one of those words which has a two fold reference to it. First Repentence, which as we know is a turning from and Faith, which we know is a turning to.
So the word conversion in and of itself means a turning away from, in this case, our sins, and a turning to, in this case, Christ.
