The Work of the Holy Spirit

5 “But now I ago away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’  
6 But because I have said these things to you, asorrow has filled your heart.  
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but aif I depart, I will send Him to you.  
8 And when He has acome, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  
9 aof sin, because they do not believe in Me;  
10 aof righteousness, bbecause I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

John 16:7-8

What are we talking about here? We are talking about the Holy Spirit, which is a gift of God, which is going to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The implication is very strong that if God did not send the Holy Spirit, the world would not be able to relate to sin, relate to judgment, relate to righteousness. They cannot properly do it until the gift of God's Holy Spirit is given. The Spirit is given to empower people to understand sin. The Holy Spirit is given to empower people to understand righteousness. The Holy Spirit is given to empower people to understand judgment.

Are we beginning to see that all of these things have their roots in the gift of God? That if God did not take action, we would never see these things in the right perspective, and because He does take action we can now see them from His point of view rather than from those points of view that are merely human.
