God is never shocked by sin in our lives. He never condemns us for sinning. And He never holds us at arm's length when we do sin. Conviction vs. Condemnation God does convict, but He never condemns. Conviction and condemnation are poles apart.
Conviction leads to repentance.
Condemnation leads to despair Conviction results in victory over sin. Condemnation results in abject defeat. Conviction motivates us toward God. Condemnation leaves us deflated and powerless. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
