CONVICTION OF SIN

But  very  truly  I  tell  you,  it  is  for  your  good  that  I  am going  away.  unless  I  go  away,  the  advocate  will  not come to you;  but  if  I  go,  I  will  send  him  to  you.  when he  comes,  he  will  prove  the  world  to  be  in  the wrong about  sin  and  righteousness  and  judgment:  about  sin, because  people  do  not  believe  in  me.
John 16: 7-9

The  Bible  tells  us  that  both  the  Holy  Spirit  and  the  devil  talk  to  us about our sins  but their voices are very different.
When God speaks to  us  about  our  sin,  He  convicts.  When  the  devil  speaks  about  our sin,  he condemns. He is called ‘the accuser of our brothers and sisters’ (Revelation  12:10).

The  difference  between  his  voice  and  God’s  is this:  The  devil’s  condemnation  is  like  a  wet  blanket  that  sits  on  us, we can’t move from under it. The devil heaps on us a sense of guilt and condemnation.
The Holy Spirit’s conviction however, makes us aware of our sin but at the same time, an awareness of the way out.

The  Holy Spirit  has  no  interest  in  exposing  our  sin  simply  to condemn us, or humiliate us. The reason the Holy Spirit convicts us  of  our  sin  is  so  that  He  may  remove  it  and  liberate  us.  *With conviction  of  sin  comes  the  awareness  of  the  Cross  of  Christ  by which we may be forgiven, and the resurrection of Christ by which we are equipped to live a new life.*

PRAYER: Precious Holy Spirit, please strongly convict me of any sin that I might desist from them, in Jesus mighty name....Amen
