Quotes about Conviction

So when you sense a still, small voice in your soul—and you have or you will—it is the Holy Spirit of God telling you that you're not right with Him. Do not ignore the Voice. God is drawing you by His love—don't pull away. When you quench the fire of conviction, you have rejected the Holy Spirit. So when you feel that tug, do not resist. Take hold of the living Christ, who will come and dwell in you.

I have never been to the North Pole, and yet I believe there is a North Pole. How do I know? I know because somebody told me. I read about it in a history book, I saw a map in a geography book, and I believe the men who wrote those books. I accept it by faith. The Bible says, "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" [Romans 10:17 KJV].
