John 3:17 -- Conviction versus Condemnation

Conviction is something specific and is of God where condemnation is general and not of God. 

Measuring up to what God wants us to be is like being in school.  If a grade 10 student is proud because the grade 1 test is easy it's nothing to be proud of.  Each of us are in God's school. We have something to learn and God will test us on the lesson until we pass the lesson and His lessons are very specific.  He knows what He will take care of what we need to take care of ourselves. 

It is true Christ wasn't here to condemn us but to save us and He left us the Holy Spirit to help us on our journey day by day, hour by hour.

Jesus, thank You for Your example, and Your sacrifice; and thank You for leaving us the Holy Spirit to help us to realize we are not condemned but loved and in that love You want to show us how to live an abundant life.
