You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Punishment is a punitive action meant to make you pay for something you did in the past. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. The child responds to touch sensations by the sixth or seventh week.

There are many times when we take a risk in stepping out in faith — or we hope it is faith. Conviction is for our own good. I could see grace was a great encourager.

What is a Conviction?

When I speak of your heart I am not talking about the organ inside your body which pumps blood, but I am speaking of your spiritual condition. There are many ways we can gauge our own spiritual condition. We can gauge it by looking at how we treat other people. Jesus did say, the greatest command is to love the Lord and the second was to love your neighbor. You can ask yourself how you interact with others. Maybe you could ask yourself what is the level of sin in your life. Most likely if you are living a lifestyle of habitual what the bible says about conviction some repentance needs to take place and you are not where you should be spiritually. Maybe you could gauge it by your motives or the thoughts that come to your mind. I believe one of the most revealing things about our hearts is how do we respond to conviction. I mean when we are confronted with a reality of a need to change a certain aspect of our lives how do we respond. Do we respond by saying we will wait until later to fix that issue. Do we respond by sincere conviction and sincere effort to change a practice in our lives. It is more important that asking yourself about important decisions in life. It is more important than asking yourself what you want to do with your life. It is a decision that has eternal implications. In fact I want to suggest to you this morning that those who refuse to take look into the condition of their hearts are in grave spiritual danger. The word conviction has several different meanings. It can mean a strong belief in something. The word conviction, as we will be using it today is referring to the idea or realization of your guilt in a particular area of life. How do you respond though to conviction when you receive it. The Proverbs teach numerous times that a wise man will accept instruction and rebuke gladly. What is your response when you are shown the error of your ways. People respond in different ways when they are told they are wrong. Some people get very defensive about their actions and try to find excuses for what they have done. Imagine with me that you are sitting in church as you are now, and you hear the preacher state something that brings some type of conviction to your heart for something you have done or been doing, maybe some flaw you have. I have had people tell me before that they do not like coming to church because they do not always leave feeling good following the message. There is a great temptation for preachers to preach what people want to hear, but I would not be doing what the bible says about conviction any favors by always preaching a feel good gospel to you. Sometimes we need our toes stepped on, but the question is when we have our toes stepped on what is our response following that. I as a preacher really believe with all my heart that when I stand up to preach I am not just doing so in order to say something, but rather because I have something to say. Not something I have concocted in my own mind, but something I really feel every time I preach God has laid on my heart for His people to hear. Maybe not always what people want to hear, but what people need to hear. Hopefully the reason you feel you need a preacher at a church is so that you can be challenged to be more like Christ. Sometimes some things may get preached and said that you need to hear. You may feel your toes were stepped on, if that is the case what should your attitude be. Should it be to get upset and mad at what was said or who said it. Absolutely not, but rather should be one of gratitude that we have been taught something or corrected in an area, which may make a difference in our lives or in our eternity. What makes something so deep a conviction within you that you are serious about change or response. What does it take for you to feel conviction over something. How many times do you have to feel conviction over something before a change develops?.

If we use it correctly, we use it to describe the work of our conscience in making personal decisions of right and wrong in areas not specifically detailed in scripture. I think they are—at least, in the way we commonly use the word. In fact, this judgment has already begun. We need to say like Paul did: Thanks be to God, for Jesus Christ our savior — There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
