When God Says …
“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 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 16:8-11 KJV).
As ambassadors of Christ Jesus in this world, being His redeemed by faith, we are sent to spread the good news of salvation to all the world. That's what Lord Jesus mandated us to do as He gave His parting Words to the eleven apostles. They are the new covenant pillars of faith, yet they are stymied by their human frailty. Like them, we are too. We are susceptible to the pull of the world. The world seemed more persuasive than us. Their trappings are enticing and their darkened eloquence sounds more compelling for human weakness, than those that brings light.
The Lord Jesus Christ recognize our feeling of vulnerability having experienced the way He was treated by the world and the religious people. He promised the disciples, and by extension us who believe and are born again by faith in Him, to send the Holy Spirit to comfort and help us. The Holy Spirit is the One who convicts the world.
He convicts the world of sin, as we prophesy and proclaim the Words of truth. He is the One who turns the unbelieving world from their guilt of sin to Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit lays bare the secrets of the world's heart with God's Words of truth that we speak. The Holy Bible says, as it is written: “But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.” (1 Corinthians 14:24-25 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
