John 16:7–11 (AV)

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

III. The Atonement Was For Conversion.

Hebrews 9:22 (AV)

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Now that Christ has made the final atonement for all, have you received Him as your atonement?
