Convict the World of Sin

He will convict the world of sin

John 16:8-12 Convict the World of Sin

JOHN 16:8-11 8 “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

What impact will the Holy Spirit have on the world?
"He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:8).

How will the Holy Spirit convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment?
Through Christians whom He will indwell, empower and lead.

What did Jesus mean by convicting the world "of sin, because they do not believe in Me" (John 16:9)?
The Holy Spirit will lead Christians to preach Jesus' gift of salvation, which delivers people from their sins (plural). When people reject that, they will be convicted of the "sin" (singular) of not believing Jesus' sacrifice on the cross paid the death penalty due for their sins, and therefore remain guilty of them.

How about, "of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more" (John 16:10)?
When Jesus was on the earth, He was accused of being many things, including a deceiver: "And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people” (John 7:12); a blasphemer: "The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God" (John 10:33); and even demon-possessed: "And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons" (Mark 3:22). When His resurrection and return to the "Father" (John 16:10) in heaven is preached, the world will be convicted that His claim of being God was true and righteous.

And how about convicting the world "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11)?
You'd expect "the ruler of this world" to be the one passing judgment. But because Jesus crushed on the cross Satan's grip on humanity's sin, Satan is judged as having been defeated, and that news will also be preached by Christians led by the Holy Spirit.

JOHN 16:12 12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

Why can't they "bear" the "many things" that Jesus still had "to say" (John 16:12) to them?
They were devastated by what Jesus had already told them, and their understanding won't be fully opened until the Holy Spirit comes upon them, which is recorded in Acts 2).
