“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
John 16:8-11 KJV
Jesus explained what the Holy Spirit has come to earth for, “And when He comes, He will expose sin and prove that the world is wrong about God’s righteousness and His judgments. ‘Sin,’ because they refuse to believe in Who I Am. God’s ‘righteousness,’ because I’m going back to join the Father and you’ll see Me no longer. And ‘judgment’ because the ruler of this dark world has already received his sentence.” Sin, righteousness and judgment are related to three persons. Sin is related to Adam by whom it entered humanity. Righteousness is related to Christ by Whom alone righteousness has come to humanity. Judgment is related to Satan, for the pure works of Christ bring judgment to the works of Satan. If we do not embrace Christ’s righteousness, we will share Satan’s judgment. It is the personal application of Christ’s righteousness that matters, not just a superficial knowledge. Amen!
