« But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future] »
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
For the next three days, we shall be looking at the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers.
Today we will consider His role as a Witness to Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
- A very important role of the Holy Spirit is the conviction of sin,
as we saw in today’s Bible text. It reads in part, John 16:8NLT
« And when He comes, He will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment »
Unfortunately, many people choose to be just spectators and merely watch the Holy Spirit in action – doing what only He can do, but are never partakers of it.
Such people seldom allow the Holy Spirit to play His primary role of bringing them to repentance as they refuse to be remorseful for their sins.
When people refuse to be convicted of their sins, they demonstrate a lack of faith in God’s word, which says all have sinned and fallen short of God glory, Romans 3:23.
Such people rationalize sin and call it all sorts of nice names.
This is why the Bible encourages us to confess our sins, even to one another, that we may be healed, James 5:16.
- The first thing Jesus takes care of in the life of whoever He wants to heal is the issue of sin, according to, Mark 2:5-12.
Even after Jesus had healed an individual and found him in the temple some days later, His admonition was in John 5:14ESV
« Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you »
Beloved, if you have not yet confessed and forsaken your sins, allow the Holy Spirit to convict you of them.
Begin to pay close attention to the details of God’s requirements for holy living and you would see the Holy Spirit transforming your life far beyond all expectations.
Prayer focus – Father, please empower me to live holy, in Jesus’ name.
