Conviction is the strong overwhelming belief in this Grace's truth and the limitless possibilities and power that is God. The believer's confidence is based on facts that one is fully convinced of, having been persuaded by evidence or argument and not merely subjective feelings.
As believers, we do not live base on our feeling, but as Paul said we know that we are loved and chosen by God and that the gospel came to us not merely with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. (1Thess.1:4- 5).
It is this conviction in the limitless power in the Word of God that motivates us not to "staggered at the promise of God through unbelief; but instead be strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." (Romans 4:20-21).
When we receive and understand the promises of God for us as believers, we are empowered to walk in trust and conviction following the protocols of obedience for the manifestation of the promise, and we live victoriously. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit." (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
I encourage you to remain "persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39). In order words believers, we are immovable in Christ. Amen!
