Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the confidant assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
Dictionaries usually define conviction as a fixed or strong belief. Conviction is really much more than that. Your convictions include your values, commitments, and motivations.
I like the definition of conviction I once heard from the great Bible teacher Howard Hendricks: "A belief is something you will argue about. A conviction is something you will die for!" Our convictions determine our conduct. They motivate us to act in certain ways.
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. Let's think about our walk with Jesus and the convictions we now hold.
