Does the work of the Holy Spirit include CONVICTING His own peeps of sin?
Read CAREFULLY ....
Match up A with A, B with B, and C with C.
John 16:8-11 (ESV)
And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning A) sin and B) righteousness and C) judgment: A) concerning sin, because they do not believe in me (UNBELIEVERS); B) concerning **righteousness** (RIGHT standing), because I go to the Father, and you (BELIEVERS) will see me no longer; C) concerning judgment (WHOLE WORLD both BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS), because the ruler of this world is judged.
So. What does the Holy Spirit convict?
A. Convicts *unbelievers* of sin.
B. Convicts believers of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
C. Convicts believers (Courts of Heaven) and non believers (Great White Throne) of JUDGMENT.
YES.
The Holy Spirit reminds or CONVINCES believers of WHO they are in Christ and WHO Christ is in them ... and He reminds us of our GUARANTEED victory and favorable JUDGMENT before His THRONE of GRACE.
