III. The Conversion of the Baptized
1427
Jesus calls to conversion. This call is an essential part of the proclamation
of the kingdom: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;
repent, and believe in the gospel.”16 In the Church’s preaching
this call is addressed first to those who do not yet know Christ and his
Gospel. Also, Baptism is the principal place for the first and fundamental
conversion. It is by faith in the Gospel and by Baptism17 that one
renounces evil and gains salvation, that is, the forgiveness of all sins and
the gift of new life.
