How do we know the doctrine of the Holy Spirit's conviction is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of the Holy Spirit's conviction is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in the ministry of Christ and the apostles.

Scripture provides ample evidence for the doctrine of the Holy Spirit's conviction as established by the teachings of Jesus. In John 16:8, Christ promises that the Holy Spirit will come to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This promise is fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, as the Spirit empowers the apostles to proclaim the Gospel, leading to the conviction of many sinners who recognize their need for salvation. Additionally, the writings of the apostles, such as Paul's references to the Spirit’s ministry in Romans, echo this conviction as an essential part of God’s redemptive work in the world. This historical fulfillment combined with the consistent teaching of Scripture affirms the truth of this doctrine.
