Conviction reveals what we really want to do with our lives. It reveals all of our desires, whether good or bad. They will feel that you are condemning them. Conviction releases the truth of God to you. It's God's way of saying that we are now fully responsible and He wants to see the maturity of our actions concerning His Word in the matter.
Conviction is good.
When the Word of His Mouth is truly spoken and released by His servants, this feeling of conviction may come. It is the truth being revealed. God's truth will free us, indeed. The word comes with no room to hide. It makes it very plain.
