Father, we thank you for the Holy Spirit and His convicting ministry in the world. We needed to know how sinful and horrifying unbelief in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God is, how dark our hearts are, the idolatry of self-righteousness and hypocrisy, and how all our judgments have been faulty because of Satan’s deception. For this ministry of the Holy Spirit, Lord, we praise you. We rejoice in His leading to our redemption and participation in your kingdom through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer King. Amen
