The Holy Spirit is come into the world to reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement.
John 16:8-12 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not one me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Jesus expressed to them that He would be going away, but that He was going to send the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.
In John 15:26 Jesus states …But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:…
The Witness of the Father. Now in us who have received the Lord Jesus as our Savior, and have received the Spirit of the Truth, the Comforter, the Lord Himself who is that Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
The Holy Spirit is come to guide you into all truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. The Spirit of Life that was in the man Jesus was the Father. It was this Holy Spirit that told Jesus what to do and say. It was this Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead and the grave.
Romans 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your
mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
And in Romans 14:17 we see that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. So if you have been sealed by the Holy Ghost which is the Holy Spirit then you also have received the kingdom of God. Now as the Holy Spirit washes you in the Word of God, whom is Jesus Christ, this renewing of your mind and regeneration causes you to be swallowed up of Life, and causes you to enter the kingdom of God…. Yet by the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
And verse 19-22 shows us even more of what we become…
19-22 Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all
the building fitly framed together growth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In
whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
A Habitation of God through the Spirit. But this can only be done Through Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son of God. It’s all about the Good Will and Good Pleasure of the Father who is God toward us. His Love for us is so intense and pure and powerful.
Jesus is God’s Goodness and Love toward us and for us. This is God’s Grace personified. The Father and Son make their abode with and in us. (John 14:20-23)
God is Spirit. The Spirit of Life. Now the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is ruling and declaring His Righteousness on our behalf and in us.
So the Holy Spirit is come into the world to reprove the world of sin, because they don’t believe in the One that took care of sin for us. This is the only begotten Son of God Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who took the sin of the world away and destroyed it.
The Holy Spirit is come into the world to reprove the world of judgement because the prince of the world was already judged by the Word of God, and the Word of God continues to judge forever.
John 11:31 Jesus speaks saying …Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
This happened then, back in that generation. Yet the Holy Spirit that was in Jesus is now in us and in the world and that judgment stands. The Word of God is continuously establishing the standard of God throughout all ages.
But let’s look at how the Holy Spirit reproves the world of righteousness, because Jesus is gone back to the Father and we see him no more. So how does the Holy Spirit reprove us? Blessings.
By faith it is accounted unto us for righteousness. Through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we receive the abundance of Grace and the gift of righteousness …accounted unto our account with God….because of the works of Father through Jesus Christ. What a Gift!
Our debt of sin is paid up in full, and so much more! His glory is abundant, for this is the riches of God for us. Virtue and glory he tells us is ours. His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord. Free from sin by the death and life of the body of Jesus Christ, because HE was Raised up from the dead BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, overcoming everything that was getting in our Way of walking with the Father in His Goodness.
By the Holy Spirit we are One with the Father through, and by, and of the Son and we have an awesome Family. Grace abounds now where sin once did. Life flows where death once was. The devil and the works of the devil was and is destroyed because Jesus did that already. So declare the Lord’s Goodness in the land the Lord has put you in. (Hebrews 2:24, 1John 3:8-9)
Now our turn… if you haven’t been raised with Jesus and sitting with the Lamb of God and his throne.
Oh Hallelujah! We are reproved of Righteousness….meaning every good thing and blessing of God is ours because of Jesus Christ who is now in the bosom of the Father and has apprehended us and causing us to also sit in His throne with Him. !!!
Riches of His Glory! Beyond Measure is the Provision of the Father for us through His Son and Lamb Jesus Christ.
So Under His Head and Joined unto Him that is Raised from the dead as the Overcomer for us all… we too are seated with Jesus in heavenly places now, even in the earth. For all things in heaven and earth are brought together in Christ Jesus.
So let all things of your spirit, soul, and body be Redeemed by His body and blood, be Reconciled by His Word and be Restored back unto the Father in His heart, which is His Holy Spirit who causes you to enter and abide in His Kingdom.
Reproved of Righteousness means Blessings. We Receive of the Lord’s Blessings. All that the Father has is given to the Son Jesus and all that the Son has is given to us. In Him we live and move and have our being. Sons of God are led of the Spirit of God. We have received the Spirit of the Son crying Abba Father. We are Redeemed and Reconciled back to the Father through Jesus Christ His Son.
Amen.
