“When we sin we can receive both the accusation of Satan and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. What is the difference? The goal of Satan’s accusation is to harm us. He wants to drive us away from God. The goal of the Spirit’s conviction is to turn us from sin. He wants our awareness of sin to bring us close to God. Satan would have us perish in our guilt. The Spirit seeks to save us from our guilt. They both may call attention to the same sin. But their goals are radically different.”
