BIBLE VERSES

CONVICTION OF SIN

A sense of dissatisfaction with a course of life which comes to the emotion-nature, and is the precursor of an extension of the moral range and of a resolution to arise and seek a higher spiritual condition.

"The very problems of evil are really the marks of an eternal progress; how man's very consciousness as a sinner is the evidence of a movement towards an infinitely glorious ideal yet to be realized in him." - J. BRIERLEY, The Eternal Religion, p. 45.

“Presently I found two things within me, at which I did sometimes marvel, especially considering what a blind, ignorant, sordid and ungodly wretch but just before I was; the one was a very great softness and tenderness of heart, which caused me to fall under the conviction (of the blessed condition of a truly godly man); and the other was a great bending in my mind to a continual meditating on it, and on all other good things which at any time I heard or read of." - JOHN BUNYAN, Grace Abounding.
