No one is saved apart from the Spirit’s convicting and regenerating work in the heart.
The truth is, if we experience nothing more than a pang of conscience, anxiety at the thought of judgment, or an academic awareness of hell, then we have never truly known the conviction of sin.
So, what is spiritual conviction?
The word convict means “to convince someone of the truth; to reprove; to accuse, refute, or cross-examine a witness.” The Holy Spirit acts as a prosecuting attorney who exposes evil and reproves evildoers.
Yeshua said, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him” (John 6:44).
The Holy Spirit brings to light our relationship to God. The convicting power of the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to our sin and opens our hearts to receive His grace (Ephesians 2:8).
