  Speaker 1: what a praise party. I am Sherry Mackie at his time,

  Speaker 1: right now for today's word. Convicted by love. John sixteen
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and eight says, and he, when he comes, will convict
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the world about the guilt of sin and the need
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: for savior, and about righteousness and about judgment. The word convict,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in its various forms such as convicted and conviction, can
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be used in a negative sense, such as in a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: trial when someone is convicted of a crime. They can
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: also be positive, though, such as when they describe a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: person of strong moral convictions, meaning strong moral principles or beliefs. Well.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: In Biblical terms, the word conviction is used in connection
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with the ministry of the Holy He convicts us of sin,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not so we feel terrible about what we've done when
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we fall short of God's standard, but so that we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: can repent and experience God's grace find freedom. See he
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: convicts us because He loves us. Feeling convicted is not
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the same as feeling condemnation or condemned. When you feel
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the conviction of the Holy Spirit, you know you've done
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: something that's not pleasing to God. But you also know
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that God loves you and that you are certain to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: be forgiven when you confess your sins. See, when people
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: feel condemned, they feel a burden of guilt that they
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: cannot seem to escape, and they feel hopeless. Condemnation is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: from the enemy, But conviction is a gift, y'all. It's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a gift from the Holy Spirit and at least to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: forgiveness and freedom. You See, Jesus died to give us
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: freedom from sin and says in his words that if
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: forgive us and clans us of all on righteousness. He
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: convicts us because he loves us too much to leave
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: us in our sin. Father, thank you for sending the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit help us to yield to his conviction so
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we can enjoy your forgiveness, your freedom, and all that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: your love has to offer. In Jesus name, that's your
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: word for today. Take that apply to your everyday life,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It's your
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
