Convictions :Different for each person

• Convictions, are different for each and every person.
  
• Some people are convicted that they should not drink wine because there are a lot of drunkards in their family.
  
• For them to drink wine even socially would be a sin then because they are convicted that is wrong for them to drink it themselves.
  
• Others have the personal conviction that is wrong for them to go to the movie theater. For them to do so anyways would be wrong for them since they were convicted not too.

These are just two examples of convictions. There are many other convictions that a man, woman, child, or teenager can have.

Commands are important to remeber

It is important to remeber the commands of God mentioned in the Bible. No one can keep all his commands. This is because we are all sinners, people who have sin in our lives. The commands are not there to save us. The commands are there to remind us about who we are, people who need Jesus Christ to save us!
