Conviction

John 16:8

Jesus said that the work of the Holy Spirit is to convict us of our sin. The Spirit uses a pastor's sermon, a mother's prayer, a tragic experience, along with countless other methods to convict us of sin and our need to turn our lives over to Jesus. Without this prodding, we would have no way of knowing that we are sinners and need the saving grace and work of Jesus.

1. What methods has the Spirit used to convict you of sin?

2. Do you feel His nudging to move you towards repentance?  

Challenge: Take notice of these feelings. Pray for the Holy Spirit to speak clearly to you and act on His leading.
