“For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.”‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:4-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction”. I’ve heard that Satan gives people a general guilt, but the Holy Spirit convicts on something specific. While I don’t like being convicted at the time, I always appreciate it later because it helped me see a part of life that I have never seen before. Conviction definitely gives us life to the full. Please pray that we and our friends ask and listen when the Holy Spirit is convicting us of something and realize it will lead us to life here and eternally. Please pray for your friends that don’t seem to have a relationship with Christ right now.
