But neither repentance nor conversion, nor both together, brings the individual into relationship with God.

Being drawn to Jesus, he must exercise faith.

Faith means _first_ to understand and believe that God exists; that he is the great rewarder of them that diligently seek him; that the Bible is his Word of truth; that Jesus is his beloved Son and our Redeemer; and _then_ to rely confidently upon these things and prove this reliance by his action .-- Hebrews 11:1,6.
[327]He now needs information to increase his faith, and the Prophet has written: "The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple".

(Psalm 19:7) To such now, as are feeling after God, through Christ Jesus this message comes: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".

(Matthew 11:28) Heavy laden means to be weary of the sinful course of the world and to have a desire to be relieved of this burden.
