What is a conviction?

A conviction is a basic scriptural principle which we purpose to follow, whatever the cost!

Here are nine scriptural convictions that every Christian should know, understand and apply to their lives, to please God.

1. God alone is sovereign, and the Bible is His inspired Word and the final authority for my life.
2. My purpose in life is to seek God with my whole heart and to build my goals around His priorities.
3. My body is the living temple of God and must not be defiled by the lusts of the world.
4. My church must teach the foundational truths of the Bible and reinforce my basic convictions.
5. My children and grandchildren and others belong to God, and it is my responsibility to teach Scriptural principles, Godly character, and basic convictions.
6. My activities must never weaken the Scriptural convictions of another Christian.
7. My money is a trust from God and must be earned and managed according to Scriptural principles.
8. My words must be in harmony with God Word, especially when reproving and restoring a Christian brother.
9. My affections must be set on things above, not on things in the earth.
