How does the Holy Spirit convince believers of righteousness?
Answered in 1 source
The Holy Spirit convinces believers of righteousness by revealing the holiness of Christ and their position in Him.
The Holy Spirit's role includes convincingly revealing the righteousness of Christ to believers. As seen in John 16:10, the Spirit convicts the world concerning righteousness, specifically because Christ goes to the Father. This understanding assures believers that their righteousness before God is not based on their merit but solely on Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrifice. Through the Spirit, believers are enabled to grasp the depth of their inability to attain righteousness on their own and the completeness of Christ’s work on their behalf, thus leading them to rest securely in the righteousness that He provides.
