Have you ever been convicted of something? Meaning, God showed you something that was wrong?
Or, have you ever been fully assured of something? Like a conclusion or revelation of who God is and who Jesus is? Maybe it was about salvation and what it means to be saved?
Is it enough to know you are a sinner when in your unsaved state before you came to Jesus or before you come to Jesus? Do you need to know the specific sins you were or are guilty of? Will God show you your sin by the Law after you are saved, when the believing Christian is not under the Law but under grace?
How does God make a new believer strong in Christ? When a person is convicted of sin are they convicted of all of it or just one particular sin that they need to repent of?
Romans 5:8 KJV - 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
There is a difference between conviction and being convicted about something and being convinced of something.
