unless we know that we are separated from a holy God by our sin
***Whose job is it to convict someone of sin?
It is the law that shows us our sin. Romans 3:20: “because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.”
Most of the people I talk to don’t know that they are sinners, or that they can’t get to heaven by trying to be good.
It’s always the Holy Spirit’s job to convict of sin, but unless someone is told that what they are doing is sin and what the consequences are, they’re not going to see their need for God.
Our responsibility is to share that information.
