Convictions are a set of Biblical guidelines, beliefs, and standards that guide the conduct.
If you have had nominal Christian up bringing, and especially if you are saved, and have received some Bible teaching, you have some convictions. You have some innate or natural insight into what is right and wrong, and your convictions cause you to lean strongly toward what is right. Your convictions make your conscience sensitive to right and wrong. You must decide WHAT you are going to do. You must examine your convictions, before you ever get serious about anyone of the opposite sex.
