Conviction of Sin - Franklin J Andreen - Bog

Jesus promised us that He would send the Holy Spirit, and then described what He would do: "When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment" (John 16:8). This conviction cannot be replaced by persuasive arguments, eloquent sermons, cleverly laid out gospel tracts, or any other manmade ministry method. Indeed, there is only one thing that can bring a lost sinner to Christ or can reclaim the backslider in heart: the conviction of the Holy Spirit. No one is good enough or sincere enough to come to God on their own; we all need this work in our hearts: "For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me" (John 6:44). It is the Spirit that draws and convicts, then converts!This short book (74 pages) examines this mighty Holy Ghost conviction in the Bible, and then gives some historical examples seen in revivals of the past.
