CONVICTION VS CONDEMNATION

 

Hi!

Welcome to my blog,it's good to have you here. 

Today, I decided to share with you on the topic Conviction vs Condemnation and I would like to start with this;Condemnation leads to death; conviction leads to life. 

 Condemnation comes from Satan but hits us from different directions. It may come through other people, people who put us down, people who leave us feeling worse about ourselves, huddled up defenseless. It may come through ourselves. Can you relate to this?

How could I do that?

I’ll never change.

How could God love me? 

Condemnation causes us to look at our sin through the lens of hopelessness and discouragement. It leaves us focused on what we’ve done wrong

Condemnation comes from Satan and is meant to tear you down.

 Condemnation continually points out what a failure you are, and how badly you’ve messed up.

Condemnation is showing you the problem, but avoiding the solution

Conviction, although uncomfortable and sometimes painful, focuses us on Jesus 

Conviction leads to change if you allow God to work. Has God pointed out sin in your life? Are you allowing Him?

This conviction is meant to lead us to repentance. 

Conviction and condemnation both make people grieve.

 Conviction brings a godly grief that leads to repentance and joy. 

Condemnation produces a worldly grief leading to death

Jesus did NOT come to condemn the world (John 12:47). There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Satan on the other hand is KNOWN for accusing the brethren (Rev 12:10).

Conviction is known in the Bible as Godly sorrow. God’s Word tells us that Godly sorrow is what leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). 

Condemnation tells you, “You are such a failure! Look at what you did!” while conviction tells you, “Come to me… and I will forgive you!” Ayah🔥🔥

Not only is God willing to forgive your sins, but He longs (deeply desires) to do so! Isaiah 30:18, “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.” (NASB)

Conviction shows you the answer (the Blood of Jesus, which washes away sin), while condemnation shows you the problem (the sin, the past and your failures)

 Condemnation shows you the problem, but conviction shows you the answer.

Condemnation shouts, “Your past! Your sins! You loser!” But conviction shouts, “The Blood of Jesus washes away sins! Come to Jesus and be forgiven of your sins! You can be forgiven! Your sins and past don’t have to be a part of you anymore!”

So let me ask you today, which are you going for, which of the C's are you subscribing to, which of them are you allowing?
