JOHN 16:8-12
Jesus Christ declares that the Holy Spirit will convict the world regarding three core, eternal realities
Sin: Unbelief in Him, deviating from the plumb line of righteousness
Righteousness: proven by His ascension to the Father, For our God is Holy
Judgment: the ruler of this world is already judged, the inevitable consequence
These three principles form the foundation of the gospel message, acting as a divine guide to lead individuals from sinful unbelief toward the righteousness found in faith.
The Three Principles Examined
Sin (Unbelief): The Holy Spirit convicts the world not just of individual acts of wrongdoing, but of the foundational sin of refusing to believe in Jesus Christ, The Messiah. John 8:24
Righteousness (Christ's Standard): True righteousness is not self-attained but is validated by Jesus's return to the Father, demonstrating a standard beyond human capacity is flawed. Romans 3:20-26
Judgment (The Defeat of Evil): The Holy Spirit reminds the world that satan, the prince of this world has already been judged and defeated, guaranteeing that God's justice will prevail. John 16:11
