    Dhen Loyola
    Saint Augustine was greatly influenced by his mother and his friend Simplicianus to convert to Christianity. While initially drawn to Neo-Platonism, reading the life of Saint Anthony and discussions with Saint Ambrose helped steer Augustine toward accepting Christ. The biblical verse that most influenced Augustine's conversion was Romans 13:13-14, which reminded him that true happiness is found in following Christ rather than earthly desires.

    1. Describe St. Augustine's life as a youth.

    Saint Augustine, also known as a different alias as Augustine of Hippo and was a person who was one
    of the most significant thinker after other before him. His adaptation to different classical thought
    made him known to Christian teaching as someone who created a theological system of great power
    and huge and greatly lasting influence in his field. He was and incredible who writer and had
    numerous works which shaped the practice of biblical exegesis and helped lay the foundation of many
    or not much of the medieval and modern Christian thought throughout the world. Augustin in his
    youth was a remarkable and extraordinary due to his many written to works that have come to
    known in our times and have been known to be great written works and are to be reckoned with. A
    person with a sharp mind and the ability to posses such unique aura to be able to attract the attention
    of many of his peers and the readers of his works. A man who is truly a prodigy in his time and his
    name was St. Augustine.

    2. Who were the two important persons who impact St. Augustine to convert to Christ?

    Saint Augustine was greatly influenced by not just by himself due to his Neo-Platonism, his reading of
    an account of the life Saint Anthony of the desert, but rather than the united influence of both his
    mother and his great friend Simplicianus. Those two are one of the most important persons that have
    greatly influence Saint Augustine to his conversion to Christ. Also with the extra help of the influence
    he had taken with Saint Ambrose gradually helped and steered Saint Augustine towards Christianity
    therefore helped him take up the Choice of converting to Christ.

    3. What Biblical verses is most influential in St. Augustine's conversion? Write a short
    reflection based on the verse.

    The Biblical verse the greatly influence in Saint Augustine’s conversion was none other than the
    verse, “Not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual excess and lust, not in quarreling and
    jealousy. Rather, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.” –
    Romans 13:13-14.

    My reflection based on the verse is that not everything is enjoyed and to be sought through with
    desire and temptations of the earth but rather enjoyed with Christ it self as its center. This verse goes
    to show that not by the different desires of our heart shall we find the happiness and purpose of our
    being but rather to Christ we shall find our true ambition and our purpose to follow Christ as we are
    indebted to him for all the things we have caused him and is the oath we should take upon as a fellow
    Christian.
