Where does CONVICTION come from.. and what is CONVICTION based upon..?
One word..
EVIDENCE..
This is true regardless of whether we're talking about Christianity or life in general.. because even in the courts of men conviction comes from evidence.
The Holy Spirit of God was sent at Pentecost to convict (or convince) the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.. and the evidence of all three of these things is overwhelming.. and so of course this is where faith toward God has its basis.. in the evidence.. faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen.
Can the Spirit of God convince a person that there is nothing good in them, and that there is everything good in Him.. and that the entire world will be judged upon this basis.. and by that man ?
Can two walk together except they be agreed ?
Can a man have two masters ?
