The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count
Sep 17, 2025 • J Calaway
Conviction Leads to Life — (John 16:8)
Conviction may sting, but it’s like a surgeon’s scalpel—it cuts to heal, not to kill.”
Condemnation Leads to Death — (Romans 8:1)
How to tell the Difference
Here’s the test:
Conviction points to the sin but offers hope through Christ.
Condemnation points to the sin and chains you to it.
One pushes you toward the cross, the other tries to push you away from it.”
Make today count by choosing conviction over condemnation. When the Spirit convicts you, run to Jesus, repent, and let Him restore you. When the enemy condemns you, stand firm on the Word and declare: ‘I am forgiven, I am free, and I am a child of God.’
