The Wounds of a Friend

Many of us gravitate away from conviction in our lives, but often that is because we have conviction and condemnation confused. Holy Spirit conviction is the work of truth in our soul, and as Christians, we should desire its work within us—exposing the wrong in our lives and laboring to help us rectify the problems by setting new patterns and behaviors in place. Though conviction brings a form of pain, it is the pain of a friend desiring to shape and form us into the likeness of Christ Jesus. In this convicting sermon on conviction, Eric Ludy addresses the difference between conviction and condemnation and reveals how embracing Holy Spirit conviction brings hope, joy, and life.
