John 16:5-11 Chart
| Sin | Righteousness | Judgment | |
| The World’s Idea of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment (The False Idea) | •No such thing as sin •Sin is no big deal – only surface foibles • We love God more than our ‘sin’ | •We are truly righteous •We are good compared to other people, especially really bad people like Hitler | •God is love – He will never judge •On judgment day I have some questions for God – I will judge Him! |
| The World’s Actual State of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment (The Reality) | •Sin is real and will be judged • Sin is at the core of who we are • We reject Jesus to keep our sin | •We lack real righteousness •Christ is the true standard of righteousness | •God is also holy – and He will judge! •Satan – the ruler of this world – has already been judged |
| The Cure for the World’s Situation | •Admit the depth of our sin •Repent and turn to Christ, begging mercy | •Admit our righteousness is as filthy rags to God •Forsake our righteousness and ask Christ for His | •Admit we are worthy of being condemned •Plead with God for mercy in Christ |
