CONVICTION
The Holy Spirit uses the gospel of Christ to bring deep conviction upon your soul. You experience the terrible feeling of being separated from God. Some people say conviction is the worst feeling they have ever experienced. Someone once said, "the pains of hell got hold upon my soul." Conviction is the state of being lost; without God; separated from God; undone; without hope. It is a suffocating, sin-sick feeling. Whenever the Holy Spirit brings conviction upon your heart (makes you know in your heart that you are a sinner) you should seek God for Salvation.Acts 9:5
"And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom that thou persecutest. It is hard far thee to kick against the pricks."
II Corinthians 7:10
"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
Psalms 34:18
"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
