2 Filthy Rooms by Arthur Pink

And when the Spirit comes, he will convict the world of sin and of God's righteousness and of the coming judgment. John chapter 16 verse 8

One of the principal things which distinguishes a regenerate person from an unregenerate one may be likened unto two filthy rooms. In one room the blinds are raised and the sunlight streams in, exposing the filth all around. In the other room the blinds are lowered, and one, walking through the room, would be unable to discern its real condition.

Thus it is in the case of one who has been renewed by the Spirit. His eyes have been opened to see the awful filth which lurks in every corner of his heart. But in the case of the unregenerate, though they have occasional twinges of conscience when they act wrongfully, They are very largely ignorant of the awful fact that they are a complete mass of corruption in the pure eyes of the thrice holy God.
