"And When The SPIRIT Comes, HE Will Convict The World Of Sin."

Two filthy rooms!

(Arthur Pink)

"And when the SPIRIT comes, 
HE will convict the world of sin, 
and of GOD'S righteousness, 
and of the coming judgment." 
John 16:8

One of the principle things which 

distinguishes a regenerate person 

from an unregenerate one, may 

be likened unto two filthy rooms.

In one room, the blinds are raised 

and the sunlight streams in, 

exposing the filth all around.

In the other room, the blinds are 

lowered, and one walking through 

the room would be unable to 

discern its real condition.

Thus it is in the case of one who 

has been renewed by the SPIRIT: 

his eyes have been opened to see 

the awful filth which lurks in every 

corner of his heart.

But in the case of the unregenerate, 

though they have occasional twinges 

of conscience when they act wrongfully, 

they are very largely ignorant of the awful 

fact that they are a complete mass 

of corruption in the pure eyes 

of the thrice Holy GOD.

Abraham acknowledged,

"I am dust and ashes!"
Genesis 18:27

Job said of himself,

"I am vile!" Job 40:4

David admitted,

"I am a worm!" Psalm 22:6

Isaiah confessed,

"Woe is me! I am ruined!"
Isaiah 6:5

Peter affirmed,

"I am a sinful man, O LORD!"
Luke 5:8

Paul considered himself,

"The chief of sinners!" 
1 Timothy 1:15
