       Now, this conviction of sin is sometimes continual as we are seeking to rid ourselves of a bad habit that we have come to realize we have. Though, there are times when we have realized we have a bad habit in some area, and from time to time we will catch ourselves slipping up, and we then correct ourselves. So, the Holy Spirit didn’t need to correct us in that situation, as we were able to correct ourselves. But if we continue doing the wrong thing without correcting ourselves, then the Holy Spirit will step in and bring conviction. And if we don’t pay attention to his conviction within ourselves, sometimes he will use external signs to try to get us to wake up to what he wants us to see, to correct. Nevertheless, sometimes the conviction that comes to us is for a one-time sin, whether big or small, for a sin that’s not habitual but just happened in one moment of time. So, once we have been given the conviction from the Spirit—at that point, we can choose to follow the Spirit, or we can choose to continue going down the wrong path.
