There are two kinds of conviction: one is a tool of God, the other a tool of Satan.
Satan uses conviction to paralyze you, convincing you that you have no hope of change. He uses it to remind you of your failures long after God has both forgiven and forgotten them. Satan wrongly convicts you to rob you of your joy.
In contrast, God uses conviction to cause you to turn to him for forgiveness and cleansing. He uses conviction to show you your need for a Savior and to draw you to him. So who’s wielding this tool in your life now?
Thank you for your beautiful words, a testament of the Holy Spirit dwelling in all who seek God through Christ.
