We will spend three days on this verse: John 16: 8-11: "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." First, in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit in the world, He will convict the world of three things: sin, righteousness, and judgment. Today we look at sin. Our Lord explains for us what that sin means. “Sin, because they believe not on me.” What is the greatest sin in all the world? Abortion? No. Who are the greatest sinners in this age? We’ve had some evil men in the last two centuries. Every age has had evil men. We might point out Hitler, or Stalin, or Karl Marx, or the Mafia. Well, who is the greatest sinner today? The greatest sinner is the one that rejects Christ. Unbelief is a state and there is no remedy if you refuse to trust Christ. “Of sin, because they believe not on me.” If you do not trust Him, you are lost. It is just as simple as that. It is just as important as that. This is a decision that every man must make. The man today, whoever he is, if he is rejecting Jesus Christ, is, in the sight of God, the greatest sinner. The Holy Spirit will bring this truth to the heart of those He is working on.
