The Power of the Comforter
Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The power of the Comforter. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you, John 16.7. The privilege of declaring the gospel to the unsaved becomes a delightful use of the power of God, Romans 1.16, speaking the words of God to a heart that has been prepared by the trifold ministry of the Holy Spirit who will reprove the world of the following things of sin because they believe not on me. All sin of every person can be forgiven. The only sin that irrevocably condemns is unbelief, or more accurately stated, conscious rebellion against the ministry of the Holy Spirit as he convicts men of their need for salvation through Christ. Rejecting that message is blasphemy and is unforgivable. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father and you see me no more. Now that the Lord Jesus has gone up to heaven, there is none righteous, no not one, on earth, including you and me. The Holy Spirit must convince men that righteousness does exist. Otherwise, there would be no possibility of understanding why we need to be saved. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged, some have suggested that the prince is Satan. I think not. There is no need to convince us that evil Lucifer needs to be condemned. However, that the sinless Son of God was condemned on Calvary for your sin and mine, now that needs supernatural convincing.
