Change starts with Conviction

One of the areas that the Holy Spirit is most
active in is creating a broken heart within us
that is receptive to Jesus. Our testimony
would be in vain if it were not for the Holy
Spirit convicting mankind of their need for
Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit's convicting
work in the world we become aware of our
sins and our need for salvation that comes
from our most wonderful Savior Jesus Christ
and the love God the Father has for us.
The amazing love that was expressed to us
by Jesus dying for us on the cross for our
awful sins. John 16:5-11
How broken our we in our own eyes? Does
the world recognize they are broken? We
are much more broken then we might
realize.
John 8:23-24, John 1:10-13
We have to be severely broken if we do
not even recognize the one who made us!!
The only way we can fix ourselves is to
put our faith in Jesus and then only thru
the power of God the Father can we be
fixed. What is truly amazing is the love
the Father has for us to do everything in
his power to fix us even if it involves the
death of his son Jesus.
John 3:16-17
The Spirit convicts us of our sin, our lack
of righteousness, and our bad judgments.
So we will see how desperately we need
Jesus to save us.
John 6:38-40
