What does the Bible say about Holy Spirit conviction?

In John 16:7-11, Jesus speaks about the role of the Holy Spirit as an advocate who will come after His departure. The Holy Spirit's work includes convicting or reproving the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction is not superficial, as it pertains to man's sinful nature in relation to Christ and the righteousness that can only be found in Him. The Spirit reveals the true nature of our sin and God's righteous standard, guiding the elect to embrace salvation found only in Christ's work on the cross.
