What is Holy Spirit Conviction

What is Holy Spirit conviction? Well, I know this. If a man misses
Holy Spirit conviction, he will miss genuine repentance. You remember Paul said, I would
not have known sin, except the law saith, thou shalt not covet.
Paul's saying I had to be convicted before I repented. I never would
have understood, I never would have known, comprehended sin
if the law had not first come and revealed to my heart what
sin is. Thou shalt not covet. Then I
know this, if a man misses repentance, he'll miss faith, because no
man can serve two masters. We'll never turn to God until
we've turned from our idols. Except ye repent, Christ said,
ye shall perish. So if a man misses Holy Spirit
conviction, this is the importance of this subject. He's going to
miss repentance. And if he misses repentance,
he's going to miss faith. You cannot believe if you have
not repented. You cannot repent if you have
not believed. Someone said repentance and faith
are like a sheet of paper. Repentance is one side, faith
is the other. You can't have one without the
other. You can't turn to God unless you've turned from your
idols, and if you've turned from your idols, to whom shall you
turn? The living God. But if a man
misses faith, he'll miss Christ. For the Scripture says, without
faith it's impossible to please God. And he that believeth on
the Son hath life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not
see life. Without faith, Christ profits
you nothing. Miss Holy Spirit conviction,
miss repentance, because you don't know what sin is. How can
you repent of sin if you're not conscious of sin? And miss Holy
Spirit conviction, miss repentance. If you miss repentance, you'll
miss faith. There is no faith without repentance. And miss
faith, you'll miss Christ. And if a man misses Christ, he'll
miss heaven, because heaven is the eternal abode of Christ and
his church. Christ is the heir. We are joint
heirs with Christ. He said, I go to prepare a place
for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may
be also. He said to the thief, today thou
shalt be with me in paradise. He said, Father, I will that
those whom thou hast given me be with me where I am to behold
my glory. Heaven is the abode of Christ,
and because it's the abode of Christ, it's the abode of his
people. Because it's the abode of Christ, it's the abode of
his church. Because it's the abode of Christ,
it's the abode of those whom he has redeemed. Paul said, I
have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. So, here we are with the importance
of Holy Spirit conviction. Miss it, miss heaven. Now that's
so. Miss Holy Spirit conviction,
there's no way a person can enter heaven unless he's experienced
Holy Spirit conviction. Because Holy Spirit conviction
leads to repentance. And repentance to faith. And
faith to Christ, and Christ to glory. Alright, here's the second
thing, so you see the importance of our subject. Here's the second
thing, now remember this is so important. But Holy Spirit conviction
is not the stopping point. Now that's perfectly, I know
that's perfectly clear, but some people get it confused and they
get it in the place where it's not supposed to be. Holy Spirit
conviction is not the end, it's not the goal. Like any other
experience, Holy Spirit conviction is a means. It's not the end,
it's not the goal, it's the means of grace. It's the means of God
to accomplish a goal. Now, watch this carefully. Election
is not salvation. It is the means of salvation. It's the means of God's grace.
Now, if the Lord had not been pleased to choose us, we never
would have chosen Him. If He had not elected us, we
would have never chosen Him. But election alone will save
no one. it's Christ who saves. Men are
not elected and therefore saved, they're elected to salvation.
We're predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son, but
election and predestination are not salvation. And then secondly,
the law of God. The law of God makes a contribution
to our salvation because the law of God is the schoolmaster
that brings us to Christ. But the law is not the goal,
the law has no saving power, our goal is not to bring people
to conformity to the law, but to conformity to Christ. Our
goal is not to bring people to obedience unto the law, but to
obedience unto Christ. The law is a means of grace,
it has absolutely no saving power. You say, what are churches for,
to make people good? No, make people like Christ. Romans 3.19 says, What the law
saith, it saith to them who are under the law, that every mouth
may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God. That's
all the law can do. When the law's done that, it's
done its work. The law cannot make you holy. The law cannot
make you like God. The law cannot save you. The
law is only a means. Watch this now, this is important.
Election. I don't want to, the thing I'm to try to find out
is am I in Christ, not am I one of the elect. Because I'm going
to show you in a few minutes how a man can be elect and not
be saved. That's so. Election is not salvation.
It's unto salvation. Election never saved anybody.
It's Christ that saved. The law has no saving power.
It's Christ that saved. And then the preaching of the
gospel. The preaching of the gospel can never save anyone.
But will a man ever be saved who does not hear the preaching
of the gospel? Paul said, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved. But how shall they call on him
in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in
him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without
a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? But
the preaching of the gospel does not save. It's the power of God
under salvation, it's God who saves. The preaching of the gospel
is a means of grace. We sometimes feel satisfied when
we get people to come and hear the preaching of the gospel.
But a man can hear the preaching of the gospel all his life and
perish. And then Holy Spirit conviction.
And I've had some preacher friends through the years that put a
lot of emphasis on Holy Spirit conviction and experience and
being whittled down and being stripped and being broken and
being slain and mourning apart and grieving and awakened sinner
and all of these things, well and good, only if you keep it
where it belongs. It's a means of grace. It's not
the end. It's not the goal. The goal and
the end of all means is to bring a man to rest, not to mourn.
to rest in Christ. Blessed are they that mourn,
they shall be comforted. And if all your ministry does
is make men mourn, you've got half a ministry. You've got half
a message, you've got half a gospel, and you've got a condemning message.
They who mourn shall be comforted. They who hunger shall be filled. They who thirst, their thirst
shall be quenched. And we don't see some thirst
quenched and some hungry hearts satisfied and some mourning hearts
in peace and comfort. We've got half a message. We're
stopping with the means. We're not getting to the end.
We're stopping with the means. We're not getting to the goal.
Holy Spirit conviction is a means of grace, it's not the end. Don't
ever be satisfied that you found out you're a sinner. Don't be
satisfied until you find out Christ is your Savior. The end of Holy Spirit conviction
is to find peace. Christ said, My peace I give
unto you. Come unto me and I'll give you
rest. The kingdom of God is joy and peace and righteousness. Now watch this and listen to
me. A man may be elected of God as was Saul of Tarsus, but that
man is not saved until he's brought to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Saul of Tarsus was elect from the foundation of the world,
that's what he said. God said he's a chosen vessel unto make.
Saul of Tarsus was not converted, he was not saved, until he came
to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's settled. A man may tremble before the
awful law of God, as Israel trembled at Sinai, or the publican trembled
in the temple, but that man's not saved! until he's reconciled
to Christ, until he has received Christ, until he is bowed to
the Son of God, he's not saved. And don't consider yourself saved,
because you're not. You're a child of wrath, even
as others, until you're brought to submission and to a commitment
to the Son of God. We're justified by faith. Christ
said, Thy faith hath saved thee. And without faith, no man can
please God. He that believeth not on the
sun shall not see light. It doesn't say he that's elected
shall be saved and he that's not elected shall be damned.
It says he that believeth shall be saved and he that does not
believe shall be damned. That's what it says. These are
means of grace. What I'm trying to do is put
them where they belong. A man may hear a true prophet of God
preaching a true gospel sermon. about the only true Redeemer,
and he may do many things as Herod of old, but he's not saved
until he personally commits his soul to Christ. That man's not redeemed until
he personally commits his soul to Christ. And it's not so much
Christ is my personal Savior as I am his personal bond slave. That's what you've got to find
out. He's the Savior of sinners. That's not the thing you're going
to have to work out, whether or not he's your personal savior.
What you've got to find out is, are you his personal bond slave?
If you are, he's your savior. Commitment. Surrender. A man may undergo deep personal
conviction of sin. He may be troubled about sin.
Why do I think what I think? Why do I act like I act? Why
do I say what I say? Why am I so evil? Why is there
so much self-righteousness in me?" But that man's not saved
until he eats my flesh and drinks my blood, that's what Christ
says. Now, he may go through the flu of the spine and he may
go through the great deep waters of personal guilt and sorrow,
but he's not saved until he submits to Christ and receives him as
his Lord and Savior. Now these are means of grace,
God's great covenant, and the law of God, and the preaching
of the gospel, and Holy Spirit conviction, all of these things,
the word of God, are means of grace. Just like Mary, the mother
of Christ, was only a means God used to bring Christ into the
world. She is not an object of worship. She is not an object
of praise. She is a means. Christ is the
object of worship, Christ is the object of praise, but this
is the great problem of modern religion, we start with the means,
never get to the object of faith. That's what's wrong. This modern
religion is absorbed with the means of grace, and they're missing
the end and the goal of these means, and that is a vital union
with Christ. Therefore, leaving the principles
of baptisms and these things, let's go on to perfection. No,
we're still hanging around down here with the means. We've never
gotten to Christ. We've never looked to Him. We've
never closed with Him. We've never secured a saving
relationship with Him. We're playing with the means.
We're playing with our doctrines and playing with our ordinances
and playing with our Bibles and playing with our arguments and
our Our theories and all of these other things. We're talking about
the means. We've never turned the eyes of
our congregation on him who's the goal of all these things.
The Bible. Who loves the Bible more than
God's people? But the Bible has no power to
give life. We're a Bible-believing church.
We're a Bible-teaching church. We're a Bible-studying church.
We don't use any literature but the Bible, you know. We take
a great deal of pleasure in those things and put a great stock
in it, but Christ said to the Pharisees, you search the Scriptures. They did too. They were Bible
believers. They were Bible searchers and
Bible studiers. Christ said, you search the Scriptures,
for in them you think you have life. No! You don't have life
in the Bible. The scriptures testify of me,
and you will not come to me that you might allow." Modern fundamentalism,
this is where it falls in right here. The Bible is an idol. Worshipping the Bible, worshipping
sound doctrine, worshipping the truth. Landmark Baptists fall
just about in that same place too. Worshipping the truth. We want to be accurate. We want
to be right. We want to be theologically correct. as a pipe and just as holler,"
Ralph used to say. He said, as straight as a pipe
and just as holler. The incarnation, Mary, the virgin
birth, just means to bring Christ into a human body, that he might
have a human nature, that he might redeem us, but we play
around with the means. We have our nativity scenes and
our three wise men and all this foolishness around Christmas
time, worshiping the means. The ordinances, the Lord's Suffering,
no saving power. Baptism, no cleansing power.
Christ said, this is to show me, show my death until I come. Holy Spirit conviction. A lot
of churches have made an idol out of that. You must feel a
sense of guilt. Fine, as long as it brings you
to Christ. But it's of no use if it only
makes you miserable. A sense of inability. Inability
to call on God. Yeah, you realize your inability
to call on God, but you better call on Him. You better call
on Him. Unworthiness. Unworthiness, Lord,
to come into thy presence, but you better come. An experience of sinnerhood does
not give life. Christ gives life. And we must
not stop short of Christ. Let the means be what they are
and nothing else. Let them be means of grace to
bring us to Christ. Only Christ can justify us before
God. Only Christ can speak peace to
the troubled soul. Only Christ can free us from
the curse and penalty of sin. Only Christ can make us accepted
and righteous. Only Christ can give us a new
heart. But these means are ordained
of God to do just that, to bring me to rest in Christ. Now turn,
if you will, to John 16, and let me show you something here.
John 16, let's put the means where they belong. They are means,
they're not ends, they're not goals. Baptism, beautiful. But nothing is acquired or accomplished
by baptism in reference to the cleansing of my soul. I am showing
forth His death which redeemed me, the shedding of His blood
which saved me, the burial of my Lord and the resurrection
of my Lord who justified me. Eating the bread has no power
to purify any man's soul, but eating the bread which symbolizes
his broken body There's the purification, there's the sanctification in
Christ's broken body for my sins. And here's shed blood, that wine,
drink 40 gallons of it, and it won't help you one iota or put
away one sin. But that which it represents,
here's blood, don't stop with the ordinance, get to the one
the ordinance is preaching. And the same thing is true of
Holy Spirit conviction. It's essential, it's necessary.
Don't stop there. Don't feel like you're saved
because you've mourned the part. You feel like you're a believer
or a Christian because you've been convicted, you're a sinner. I have nothing in my hands. You
better embrace Christ with those hands. Don't keep nothing in
them. Lay hold upon the Lord. That's
the reason the Holy Spirit emptied your hands so you could receive
Christ. He didn't empty your hands to leave them empty. In
my hands no price I bring. Right. He emptied your hands,
but he emptied your hands so you could take hold of Christ. Christ our Lord in John 16 says
in verse 7, nevertheless I tell you the truth, it's expedient
for you that I go away, that I go away. What's he talking
about? In these and other verses, Christ our Lord is speaking of
his death when he talks about going away. You know what a television preacher
said on television? I didn't hear him, a preacher
friend of mine heard him. I'm going to tell you who it
is. But he's one of the richest, most well-known, most popular
preachers of this day. He got in a big way the other
day preaching on television. And he said, blessed God, if
I'd have been there at Calvary when they crucified my Lord,
I'd have stopped them. There's several things wrong
with that. I don't know how big he thinks he is, you know. The
whole Roman Empire was taking care of that business. And then
secondly, God put him on that cross. You know, God had something
to do with that. He ordained it. I don't know
whether he could have stopped it or not. He felt like he could.
But number three, if he had stopped it, we'd all have been lost.
That's what the poor, ignorant preacher does. You see, Christ
had to die. He didn't die as an example.
He died as a substitute. I think poor fool and the poor
fools that support such a poor fool. Christ had to die. Brethren, I say amen to the death
of Christ. Thank God for the death of Christ.
I'm glad he died on that cross. He said it's expedient for you
that I die. That's what he's talking about,
his death. It's expedient. How's a man going to be saved
if Christ doesn't die for him? That's what he's talking about
here, expedient for you that I go away. Look back at John
14. This is what he's referring to. John 14, 1. Let not your
heart be troubled. They were troubled. He was leaving
them. They were filled with sorrow. You believe in God, believe also
in me and my Father's house and many mansions. If it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Our Lord goes to open the way unto the holiest by his blood.
If he doesn't go there with his blood, I don't go there at all. Our Lord goes to take possession
of heaven in his name and for us, in our stead. If he doesn't
go there, I don't go there at all. If he doesn't go there as
the sacrifice, the sin offering, the substitute, the conquering
Our Lord goes to prepare a place for us. If he doesn't die and
go to prepare a place, I don't go there at all. Our Lord goes
to be our advocate, our intercessor. He pleads his wounds, he pleads
his blood, he pleads his sin offering before the justice and
holiness and righteousness of the living God, and to transact
all business between the Father and sinners. It's expedient for
you, my Christ said, I've got to die.
I've got to, the Son of Man must need to go to Jerusalem, the
Son of Man must suffer these things. He must, it's expedient
for you. This death is absolutely essential. All right, now listen to the
next line. For if I don't go to the cross,
and that's the only way, That's the way to the throne, that's
the way to glory, that's the way to the crown. The cross comes
before the crown. If I don't go, the Comforter
will not come. Now we could spend our time,
and bless his heart, Dr. Gill spends a lot of time on
this, and he's a whole lot smarter than any of us, so we'll let
him get away with it. But we can't, we could spend
our time talking about the order of revelation of the three divine
persons in the Trinity, and the revelation of each in the economy
of man's salvation, and that's what Dr. Guild said. You don't
know what I said, and I don't either. But he says the Father
first, and then the Son, and then the Holy Spirit. But this,
and that's a well-known fact, I know. But here's what our Lord's
saying in plain old everyday Eastern Kentucky English. If
I don't die on the cross, If I don't shed my blood, if I don't
go to the Father as your advocate and intercessor, there ain't
no use of the Holy Spirit coming here because he don't have anything
to do. That's exactly what he said. There wouldn't be any use
of the Holy Spirit coming. He wouldn't have any gospel to
reveal, Charlie. Why come? He wouldn't have any
salvation to apply. Why come? He wouldn't have any
blood to sprinkle. Why come? He wouldn't have any
righteousness to reveal. Why come, Dick? That's what he's
saying. If I go not away. And here's what we need to do
for the generation to which we're preaching. Let's quit telling
them what somebody said 175 years ago and tell them what God says
right now. Christ said, it's expedient for you that I go to
the cross. Lord, don't go to the cross,
don't go to the cross, don't go to Jerusalem, they'll kill
you up. That's necessary that I go my way. If I don't go, the
Comforter will not come. Because if I don't die, the Comforter
doesn't have anything to do, as far as you're concerned. You're
lost and without hope. But when he comes, he's coming
because I'm going away. And when he comes, verse 8, he's
got something to do. First of all, he's going to convict
this world of sin. Now, the primary sin of which
he convicts us is what? Well look at verse 9, obscene,
because they believe not on me. That's unbelief. Now you think
you're something this morning because you're not a drunk. And
you look down on all the drunks in this world. I'd rather be
a drunk than an unbeliever. Now you stop and think about
that a little bit. You look down on all the bad
little girls that are prostitutes, and you wouldn't be anything
like that, but you're an unbeliever. And you might as well be whatever
they are, because God hates unbelief. That's right. I wouldn't tell
you wrong. I'm telling you what. Christ
said when the Holy Spirit comes, he's going to convince this world
of unbelief, of sin, because they don't believe on me. That's
the damning sin. That's the wicked sin. That's
the primary sin. That's the granddaddy of all
sin, unbelief. He that believeth not is condemned
already because he believes not on the Son of God. That's right. They believe not. But this also, this passage can
apply to all the convicting, convincing, converting work of
the Holy Spirit in bringing a man to Christ. He convicts him of
sin. George Whitefield said he convinces
him of sin. The nature of it. The root of
it. The cause of it. The thing that,
your problem is not that you stole a watermelon, but that
which made you do it. The spirit of rebellion, the
spirit of greed, the spirit of covetousness that motivated it,
that's where God's at issue with you. It's not so much the act,
it's what caused the act. Because you can have the sin
and not perform the act. That's what Christ is saying.
He said, here's a man who murders a man, and that's sin, we say.
But suppose he doesn't murder him. The sin's still there. He wanted to. So God deals with
this cause of the problem. The problem wouldn't be there
if it wasn't for the cause. The act wouldn't be there if it wasn't
for the motive. The action wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the
thought. And God looks not on the outward countenance, he looks
on the heart. And he doesn't just condemn people who have
bad actions, he condemns people who have bad attitudes. Not just
bad deeds, but bad thoughts. That's where it goes on between
you and God. God is a spirit. God's not a policeman. God is
spirit. God dwells in men's hearts, not
in their temples made with hands. God's not worshipped with human
hands, he's worshipped with human hearts, in spirit and truth. And the Holy Spirit convinces
us of sin, S-I-N, of the nature of it, of the root of it, of
the evil of it. He convinces us of sin. And he convinces us of sins,
S-I-N-S, and even the sins of our righteousness. But conviction
of sin, now listen to this and see if this will help. Conviction
of sin is not just a smiting of the natural conscience. Conviction
of sin is not just the head knowledge that sin is bad. Most everybody knows sin is bad. Conviction of sin is not just
the head knowledge and agreement with what the Bible says about
sin. Most people agree with what the Bible says about sin. Thou
shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false
witness, thou shalt not commit adultery. Most of us agree that's
right and those rules ought to be there. That's not conviction
of sin. There's a whole lot of difference
in knowing that vinegar is sour, saying it is, and actually tasting
it. And that's the difference in
real heart conviction. and law conviction. Law conviction
knows it's sour. It says it on the label. Sour. It says it on the label. That's law conviction. I know
the Bible says I shall not kill or steal or so forth. But Holy
Spirit conviction is to find out it's sour by tasting of it.
And that's what Holy Spirit conviction is. It's a real personal true
sense of the evil and sourness and sinfulness of sin. It's a
real sense of the dishonor which sin does to God. Now watch this,
and this is important. And it's a real sense felt by
tasting and awareness of the righteousness and justice of
God in condemning my sin. Let me ask you this, would God
be just if he condemned you? I asked a dear lady that face-to-face
this week, and she like choked death before she answered me.
We were talking about she was in trouble about her husband.
I've been trying to get him saved four or five years, and I said,
well, I said, what if God doesn't choose to save him? I said, you know, God doesn't
have to save you. He's not obligated to save you or your husband.
What if God doesn't choose to save you? Would that be all right? I said, well, does he deserve
to be saved? I said, answer me. Does he deserve to be saved?
Yes or no? She wouldn't answer me. I said,
let's come closer to home. Do you deserve to be saved? She
said, yes. I mean, no, she said. But let
me tell you something now. Now wait just a minute. I don't
think we're really convinced by the Holy Spirit of sin until
we say amen to our condemnation. That's right. Do I deserve God's
mercy? Am I worthy of eternal life? If God's not pleased to save
me, will he still be God? And will he still be right? And
will he still be just? What if God's not pleased to
save your son or your daughter? What if He's pleased to pass
them by? Whose side are you going to be on? You haven't been convinced
of sin yet until you... I'm not saying you rejoice in
it now. Don't misunderstand me. I didn't say that. We don't rejoice
in any man's condemnation, least of all our own. I don't believe
a man can rejoice in his condemnation. I believe he can say amen to
it without rejoicing. I believe he didn't say, I deserve
it, God doesn't save me, I'm getting what I deserve. That's
what the thief on the cross said, he said, I'm getting what I deserve. Boy, the Lord showed mercy to
him, but we haven't been convinced of the sinfulness of sin and
the dishonor of sin to God and the righteousness and justice
of God in condemning sin until we've come to this place. If
God sends me to hell, God will do what's right. And if he sends
my family to hell, he'll do what's right, and if he sends you to
hell, he'll do what's right. Now, if he takes us to glory,
it'll be pure mercy. It'll be pure grace. If he forgives
us, it'll be pure grace, and he'll get all the glory for us.
Now, when you come to that conclusion, you've been convinced of sin.
You've been convinced of sin. You've been convinced of the
sinfulness of sin. of the wretchedness of sin, of
the, as Paul said, the exceeding sinfulness of sin, when we can
say, Amen, to our own condemnation. And I ask this lady this, and
I'll ask you the same thing. It's time we started being honest
with one another. What if God's pleased to save
somebody else's husband and pass yours by? Could you rejoice? I get worried about us. We pray for our sons or our daughters
and they're converted and we rejoice and relax. But somebody else is still lost.
How can we rejoice and relax as long as theirs is lost? Because
we love ourselves. We're selfish. And that's ungodly. And I don't
know whether that's of God or not. I don't know whether God
will bless that or not. I kind of believe this. I kind of believe that if I can
sincerely in my heart love God and commit all things to Him
for His glory and say, Lord, I'd like to see you save Joe's
boy or John's boy. And it'll be alright if you save
theirs and you don't save mine, because you're God and you do
what's right. You can't do, make a mistake, and you can't do wrong.
Lord, I'd like to see you save Betty's husband if you don't
save mine. You're still God. I'll still
praise you eternally. That'd be alright. It might be
God would bless that kind of faith. You reckon? I think he
would. But it can't be, it can't be
It can't be hypocritical, it can't be unreal. And this is
the only thing that will cultivate that. This is the only thing
that will produce that kind of humility before God, is to really
be convinced of sin. To really be convinced that you
and I don't deserve his mercy and our children don't either.
I've served the Lord all my life. Preacher, it looks like God could
save my child. No. No, I don't merit any mercy. I do everything God commands
me to do, still be an unprofitable servant. Got to come to the place,
no merit. No merit. You don't earn or deserve, don't
obligate God. I don't believe a man can expect
anything from God when he obligates God. Give me a right spirit. God looks on the heart. God looks
on the heart. Keep thy heart out of any of
the issues of life. And under God, if we can, by
his Spirit and his grace, he, the Holy Spirit, convince us
of the awfulness of sin, mine, yours, and our family's, may
we could fall in the dust and maybe God would hear us, maybe
he would. We don't know, when we think
how little we know, we know in part how little we understand
the awesomeness and holiness of God, the majesty and power
of the living God. We know so little, this vast
universe of God's wisdom and glory and power. We've tried to simplify the profound,
mysterious gospel, that glorious transaction that took place at
Calvary between thee and thy dear son. And we fear, O Lord, that we've
tried to simplify this Holy Spirit conviction of sin, of righteousness,
Christ's righteousness, judgment. It's so awesome how little we
know about sin, because we don't grieve over it like we ought
to. We side with our loved ones against God and against his justice
and his righteousness, and we murmur and complain, O Lord,
when you don't do what we want you to do. Maybe we don't know
what sin is if we don't reveal it to us. Stop our mouths. If the law really convicted us,
we'd shut our mouths and be guilty before God. But we still got
too much to say. O Lord, may it please Thee in
Thy sovereign power and mercy, don't pass us by, but whatever
it takes and whatever it costs to convince us of our sins and
of our unrighteousness and of judgment to come. May that be
accomplished for us, that we might forever glorify Him who
loved us and washed us in His own precious blood. In His name
we pray. Amen.
