*THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE WORLD*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."* (John 16:8 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 16:8 highlights the crucial role of the Holy Spirit in convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The word "reprove" (Greek: elegcho) means to convict, convince, or expose. The Holy Spirit's work is not limited to comforting believers, but also extends to convicting the world of its spiritual condition.
The phrase "of sin" refers to the universal human problem of rebellion against God. The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sinfulness, revealing their need for forgiveness and redemption. The phrase "of righteousness" highlights the Holy Spirit's work in convincing people of God's righteous standards and the righteousness that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
The phrase "of judgment" looks forward to the ultimate judgment that awaits humanity. The Holy Spirit convicts people of the consequences of rejecting God's offer of salvation and the certainty of judgment for those who refuse to repent. This conviction serves as a warning, urging people to respond to the gospel and avoid the judgment to come.
The lesson from this verse is that the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in preparing people's hearts to respond to the gospel. As believers, we can trust that the Holy Spirit is working to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.
