The disciples were going to begin to spread the Gospel to the world. They were declaring the words of God with the help of the Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. All the world is found guilty against the evidence of who we are in comparison to who God is as revealed in His word. Only through the power and the supernatural work of the God the Holy Spirit can the unregenerate fallen creature be convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment. It is after this regeneration that our faith comes alive by the hearing of the word that points to Christ. It is the Word of God that we are to declare to the world that bring about conviction to the world. The disciples have just been told by Christ they will be hated by the world as a result of their union with Him and the message of Christ that brings conviction to the world. As we declare, convict, and prosecute the world by the preaching and teaching of Christ in His word, persecution and hated from the world is anticipated and expected. However, the Holy Spirit inspired scriptures are clear and let us be bold in our declaration of the truth and of the gospel. Faith and belief in Christ brings about imputed righteousness and the escape from the wrath of God. That is the message of the Word and that is the message we must spread to the world. Let us never undervalue and underestimate the power of Christ's words "It is to your advantage that I go away!"
