Today's Devotion:
"CONVICTED"
I took my son to his uncle's store.
When we finished paying and walked out,
I noticed a candy bar in my son's pocket.
We had not paid for that!
So, I told him that was STEALING.
We went back into the store and told
uncle that he had taken the candy
without paying.
Uncle said, "Son, you know that is
stealing, and you might have to go to
jail. Is there anyone you know that
can PAY for you?"
Of course, he looked at me with tears,
and I said, "Yes. I'll pay for it."
__________SCRIPTURE__________
John 16:7-8
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is
expedient for you that I go away: for if I
go not away. the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him
unto you.
8 And when He is come, He will reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment.
KJV
__________THOUGHT__________
God's Holy Spirit not only works IN believers,
He works ON UNbelievers!
He REPROVES!
The Greek word from which that is translated
is elegcho.
It means convict, convince, or expose a fault
in contrast to truth.
God's Holy Spirit CONVICTS people of sin.
He CONVINCES them that Jesus is God and
Savior.
And, He COMPELS them to make a decision:
whether to surrender to Jesus as Lord.
God's Holy Spirit also convinces the world of
Jesus' righteousness.
He DID die on the cross!
He WAS placed in a tomb!
He DID rise from the grave!
And, He DID ascend into heaven!
ALL of that was, and is, true by the WORD of God.
THEREFORE, it is true that Jesus WILL BE
COMING BACK AGAIN -- SOON!
And, that also means there IS a "judgment day"
coming to ALL mankind!!
Conviction is brought by the Lord's Holy Spirit
to lovingly call mankind to CONFESSION and
COMMITMENT!
Have you confessed sin and asked God to
PAY for it through Christ's atonement?
Love ya!
