Conversion is a turning to Jesus Christ, a redirection of life that turns from evil to Jesus Christ. In first century conversion, converts turned to Jesus Christ. The First Century Jew and Conversion Theological perspectives in first century Jewish society were diverse. Those Jewish people had in-depth Jewish issues to resolve if they were to turn to Christ. Their perception of God's people and of covenant relationship with God opposed their conversion to Jesus Christ.
