- 2. John 16:8-11 When He comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in Me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see Me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. www.networkbible.org

- 4. John 16:14-16 He will bring glory to Me by taking from what is Mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine.

- 7. Anyone can be RIGHTEOUS in their own eyes. Through the Holy Spirit we realize that apart from Jesus I am CONDEMNED. We cover up the flaws…to give the APPEARANCE of something not really there.
- 8. “If you only have the Word, you dry up. If you only have the Spirit, you blow up. But if you have both, you GROW up” (Jim Cymbala) Jesus wants more than BABES in Christ; He is calling for disciples who continue to learn and grow through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals sin, cutting through the PRETENSES
