It is another beautiful day ,that our heavenly father has blessed us with.Let all thank Him for What He has done.
Since today is another day I would like us to still continue with our series with the Holy Spirit. We have to understand that the Holy spirit always reprove us of our sin.
scripture
Psalm 51:5
"Indeed, in iniquity I was brought forth; in sin my mother conceived me"
The meaning of REPROVE
- Blame
- Check
- Reprimand
- Condemn
- Scold
- Rebuke
- Take to task
- Reprehend
- Tell off
The Holy spirit REPROVES means the Spirit convince us into salvation and convicts(blame) us unto condemnation.
Here we see two media in operation.
- Reprove (convinces) unto salvation
- Convicts (blames or rebukes) unto condemnation
NOTE
The Lord Jesus told his discipline that the Holy spirit would come after His departure to reprove the world of sin.
- By his ministry of conviction as our Lord's "prosecuting Attorney",
The Holy Spirit work in the lives of men with even more severity than human conscience or Biblical Law.
The Holy Spirit reveal particular sins.
The Holy spirit, on the other hand ,specifically convicts of the sin of rejecting the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
The Holy spirit places man beside the standard of scriptures so the need of savior becomes apparent (real or desirable)
Reproving the world of sin, every person has been born with a sinful nature.
Psalm 51:5
Some one may ask: "what does that have to do with me?"
When we consider the original meaning of sin,we find that we are in a frightful position .People usually call something a sin or unrighteousness when they see outward evidence of sin.
But sin is rooted in deeper place that evidenced by specific trespasses (wrongful entry ) The Bible show how and why man cannot help but bear sinful fruits.
A person's sinful state involves being separated from God.This sinful state ,called original sin,is carried corporately.
i) "by one man sin entered into world, and death sin".Roman 5 :12
ii) "Through the offence of one may be dead"
Roman 5 :15
Adam disobeyed God and was driven out from Gods presence, in such a state ,Adam produce mankind .As a result ,all descendant of Adam-without having time to question it - are born in the state of being separated from God.
The descendants of Adam have been born in the sinful state of Adam -driven away from the presence of God and place under Adam's sentence of death.The person who left the God of all righteousness ,goodness and life cannot help but breed unrighteousness and trespasses.
In this forsaken condition, mankind would die and go to help.But have the great love and mercy of God appeared,God delivered through our lord Jesus Christ.
Born of the virgin Mary,Jesus came into this world without original sin.He lived a life of no sin or guile.As a sinless person He became the perfect substitute for sinners .As a righteous person He was crucified for the unrighteousness, and after three days He rose from the dead.
By His dead He paid the total price of our original sin and our self committed sins.What does that means?As many as believed in Him and receive the free grace of salvation received eternal life.They are no longer separated from God.
Men and women could never do these things.
We cannot but Praise Him with all of our hearts.
Let live our life out for sin for we are bought with a precious blood.
