*DAILY DEW 30/JANUARY/2025* *THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE WORLD* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."* (John 16: 9-11 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' statement in John 16:9-11 highlights the threefold conviction that the Holy Spirit brings to the world. Firstly, the Holy Spirit convicts people "of sin, because they believe not on me." This emphasizes the fundamental problem of humanity's rebellion against God, which is manifested in unbelief towards Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit's conviction of sin serves as a wake-up call, urging people to recognize their need for salvation. The second aspect of the Holy Spirit's conviction is "of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more." Jesus' departure from the world and return to the Father highlights the righteousness that He has accomplished on behalf of humanity. The Holy Spirit convicts people of this righteousness, revealing the perfect standard of God's justice and the fulfillment of that standard in Jesus Christ. The third aspect of the Holy Spirit's conviction is "of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." This refers to the defeat of Satan, the ruler of this world, through Jesus' death and resurrection. The Holy Spirit convicts people of the certainty of God's judgment, urging them to respond to the gospel and avoid the condemnation that awaits those who reject Jesus Christ. The lesson from these verses is that the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in convicting people of their need for salvation. By highlighting sin, righteousness, and judgment, the Holy Spirit prepares people's hearts to respond to the gospel. _MEDITATION:_ *As believers, we can trust that the Holy Spirit is working to convict the world of its need for Jesus Christ, and we can partner with Him in sharing the good news with others.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
