…He will convict the
world of sin, and of righteousness…of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more.

The Spirit Convicts You Of
Righteousness
|
When I got saved as a young man, I remember how right after
praying the sinners’ prayer, a counselor asked me, “Do you know what you have
inside you now?” I said, “No.” He said, “Once you are saved, you have the Holy
Spirit inside you.”
Then, he said to me, “The Holy Spirit is the ding-dong bell
inside you. He’s there so that when you do wrong, He’ll go, ‘Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!’” And from then on, I felt like there was always somebody watching
me, not to catch me doing right, but to catch me doing wrong. I began to see
the Holy Spirit as a faultfinder!
I’m so glad that I know better today. The Holy Spirit is not a
“ding-dong bell,” and certainly not a faultfinder. He doesn’t convict believers
of their sins. On the contrary, He convicts believers of their righteousness in Christ!
Today’s verses show us that the Holy Spirit convicts the world
(non-believers) of one particular sin—the sin of not believing in Jesus. We
believers cannot be convicted of this sin of unbelief because we already
believe in Jesus. What the Holy Spirit does convict us of is our righteousness. God gave us the Holy Spirit to remind us
that we are righteous in Christ because of His sacrifice.
Beloved, thank God that the Holy Spirit is in you to convict you
of righteousness. When you fail, He is the warm, encouraging voice that points
you to the cross and says, “Jesus’ blood has removed this sin. You are still
righteous.” He gives you the strength to get up on your feet again and to keep
walking with God. And when you know that you are righteous, you will live a
life that honors God!
