  The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God.
• 0:04
  Paul wrote that in Romans 14-22.
• 0:06
  And basically what he was saying was if you believe something, let it affect you.
• 0:10
  Let it change you.
• 0:11
  Let it make you into something.
• 0:13
  That's what a conviction is.
• 0:14
  People say, I believe, but they don't do anything about it.
• 0:17
  That's an error.
• 0:18
  That's a mistake.
• 0:19
  If you truly believe something, you will act according to what you believe.
• 0:22
  And that's what he's saying.
• 0:23
  Have it as your conviction between you and God.
• 0:26
  Then, in the second half of the verse, he says, happy is he who does not condemn himself
• 0:30
  for what he approved.
• 0:31
  So you decide what you approve of and what you don't approve of and let your convictions
• 0:35
  drive what you approve of and what you don't approve.
• 0:38
  You don't think something is right, then you don't have to approve of it.
• 0:41
  Of course, it's your conviction.
• 0:43
  So it affects you.
• 0:44
  You can't make anyone else do anything else that you want them to do, but you can believe
• 0:50
  and you can let your own belief drive your own actions before God.
• 0:53
  And you will be happy if you approve the right things.
• 0:56
  So learn the word of God.
• 0:57
  Listen to preaching and teaching this godly.

• 1:04
  Lord and then let it affect you as a conviction, a deep-seated belief that changes everything
• 1:09
  who you are.
• 1:10
  You can do it.
• 1:11
