Of Judgment, Because the Prince of This World Is Judged (John 16:11)

2024-06-26

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment... Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (John 16:8, 11)

The Holy Spirit reproves the world of judgment. The prince of this world has been defeated, so therefore every one of his followers has also been defeated. If we are his followers, this includes us. This compels us to believe that the risen Christ reigns supreme. He will return and end the reign of the devil and everyone that follows him.

Yet how can we seem so spiritual one moment and then be so fickle as to flirt with the enemy’s devices? One step not in faith and how gruesome it can get.

So we remember that the enemy has been defeated. We must follow the Victor instead of the defeated.
