The Importance of Conviction

We're poisoning ourselves with sin. God tries to intervene and interact and say, don't do that because I love you... And we nip at him. We try to bite his hand as he's trying to correct us. That's why Jesus said on the sternum, blessed are those who mourn, they should be comforted. Remorse over my sin is not natural. Remorse at conditions outside of me is natural. The great Christian philosopher Francis Schaeffer wrote in the 70s, when you've destroyed a person's foundations, don't walk away. Yeah,. Because then they end up homeless. So God immediately accompanies convicting grace with forgiving grace.
