Jesus said in John 16:8, “The Spirit would convict the world
of sin, righteousness and judgment. Paul said Christians were to walk after and
be led by the Spirit. Romans 8:1, 14. The question becomes, how can the Spirit
convict sinners and lead Christians? Some want you to believe He works in a
miraculous way. Others say He convicts people differently, they say He may come
to you at a ball game or while driving down the road, or maybe while watching
TV. What does the Bible say; Acts 10:34
“So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows
no partiality.” God does not treat us differently, He is no respecter of
persons. So, the question still remains, how does the Spirit convict the world
of sin, righteousness and judgment? In order for us to understand how and
understand God’s will, we must go to the scripture. Remember the story of the
Eunuch in Acts 8:31? Philip asked; do you understand what you are reading? He
said; how can I except some one teach me. Also think of Paul, he taught Timothy
to teach others, to teach others. If we turn to the Bible with Bible questions,
we will receive a Bible answer. God’s Word tells us the only way the Spirit
convicts the world of sin is by teaching people the Word. We must teach people
about Heaven and teach them about Hell, that’s the only way to strip every
excuse away. It’s time to let the Spirit loose and teach others about Jesus.
