Convicts of Sin

Jesus said in John 16:8 that when the Holy Spirit comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. We can clearly see the work of the Holy Spirit when He does this kind of work in the lives of people. He convicts them of sin. They come to the conclusion that they are sinners, they have offended and rebelled against a Holy God and that they cannot save themselves. This is when they repent and turn to Christ for their salvation. This is a beautiful thing to see. A person born again of the Spirit of God and become a new creation. This is the first work of the Holy Spirit. Has He convicted you of your sin? You see He continues to do this even in a believer. He convicts us and we repent and confess and God cleanses us.
