John 16:8
John 16:8
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
The role of the Holy Spirit in our lives cannot be overemphasized. One of the important works of the Holy Spirit is to convict us of our sins. When we come to Christ and receive the gift of salvation, we begin to live a new life in Him. However, we are not perfect and can still fall into sin. That's why the Holy Spirit convicts us when we go astray, reminding us of the standard of righteousness that we should live by. The Holy Spirit convicts us not to condemn us but to help us. His conviction leads us to repentance and draws us closer to God. When we allow the Holy Spirit to convict us, we are acknowledging our need for God and His grace in our lives. The Holy Spirit not only convicts us of sin but also of God's righteousness. He reminds us of the righteousness of God and empowers us to live a righteous life. As we yield to the Holy Spirit's leading, we become more like Christ, and our lives become a reflection of His righteousness. Finally, He convicts us of the coming judgment. This reminder helps us to stay focused on living a life that pleases God and not be swayed by the temptations of the world. It also encourages us to share the gospel with others so they, too, can be saved from the judgment to come. Let us yield to the Holy Spirit's conviction, allowing Him to lead us to repentance and a righteous life while keeping us focused on the coming judgment.
2 Corinthians 5:18
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Proverbs 14:9
Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
Romans 7:15
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Ecclesiastes 5:6
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
