What does the Bible say about the experience of Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates the believer's experience as one of conviction of sin, conflict with sin, and a deep dependence on God.

The Bible highlights the various aspects of a Christian's experience, particularly in Psalm 69. It demonstrates how believers, like David, come under conviction of sin, recognizing their deep need for salvation as expressed in verse 17: 'I am in trouble; hide not thy face from thy servant.' This conviction is often the work of the Holy Spirit, illuminating the reality of sin in the believer's life and leading them to cry out for help (Psalm 69:1-3). Furthermore, Christians frequently struggle with their sinful nature, experiencing intense conflict as they navigate a world that opposes God. This conflict can manifest as feelings of despair, as seen in verses 2 and 3, where David speaks of sinking in deep mire. Yet, amidst this turmoil, believers find hope and encouragement in God, turning to Him with confidence for deliverance (verse 13).
