Conviction

Conviction is not a negative emotion it is a necessary part of life. I don’t just mean we need to be convicted when we have hurt someone or done something we know is out of line. To be a person of strong conviction about what we believe and what we stand for and what we want to live for is an extremely positive thing. People may not agree with you but most people can’t help having some admiration for a person with strong conviction.

Embrace Conviction – Reject Condemnation. Conviction empowers positive change and advancement, condemnation makes a person unfit for any worthy purpose

As a Christian, healthy conviction will manifest as an acknowledgement of our need for Jesus in any and every area of life.

The conviction of the Holy Spirit identifies where ‘worldly’ thinking has dominated our identity and behaviour. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our need for Jesus and of our righteous identity in Jesus. The Holy Spirit also brings us the conviction that our enemy is condemned!
