🏡 Family Devotional — Day 49

“The Spirit Shows Us What’s Right”

📖 “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.”
—John 16:8 (NKJV)


The Holy Spirit doesn’t just teach us what is wrong—He shows us why it matters.

Conviction is the Spirit’s way of tugging on our hearts to turn us back toward what is good, true, and right.
In a world that tells us to “follow our hearts,” the Spirit says:
“Follow Jesus.”

As a family, we need His help to:

  • Recognize sin for what it is
  • Love righteousness instead of rebellion
  • Remember that God will one day judge all things

Conviction in a family isn’t about shame—it’s about shaping hearts that love what God loves.


Family Talk:

  • What’s the difference between guilt and conviction?
  • How can we encourage each other to listen to the Holy Spirit when He corrects us?

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for showing us when we’re going the wrong way. Help our family grow in righteousness and truth. Let our home be a place where we follow Jesus with humble hearts. Amen.
