Our speaking and doing, if truly in the Holy Ghost, will convict the world of sin. Jesus says that if He had not spoken and done what He did, the world would have no sin. Amazing! Jesus said that their excuse was taken away (John 15:22). Does my life allow excuses? Can people hear and see me and continue on their course unchallenged, without the least hint of apprehension?
“Let your light so shine before men . . .”
If the world isn't convicted in my presence, I am not living right, not walking right—not keeping in step with the Holy Spirit.
Our lives are a continual conviction either to the world or to ourselves; either to them of their sin, or to us of our lukewarmness.
