DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 7; Isaiah 3-4; Luke 22:31-53
And when he is come, (the Holy Spirit), he will reprove the world of sin … of righteousness … and of judgement. John 16:8
Here is the three-fold work of the Spirit to the lost. He convicts them of sin. Without the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, people dead in their trespasses would never know their need for a Saviour. He convicts them of righteousness. The Holy Spirit’s work shatters the pretentions of self righteousness and exposes the futility of working to earn eternal merit with God. He convicts them of judgement. The day of grace continues to provide an open door but judgment is coming. In God’s eyes, Satan is already judged. Oh listen to the faithful message of the Holy Spirit today and be saved. —Drew Craig
Open my eyes that I may see, glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Ready my God thy will to see, Spirit divine! —C. H. Scott
