Conviction

The only unassailable conviction is that based upon spiritual knowing, proceeding from and testifying to divine Principle. None other can say with the calm assurance of the Christ, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

Men harness their lives and consciences to maintain and prosecute set purposes, with a passion of conviction which disregards the challenge of reason, of evidence, and the consideration due to the rights of others. The power they believe is theirs has not been given to them; neither, indeed, do they actually possess it; that which they seize and precariously wield, is the counterfeit of power, based upon illusion, operation through animal magnetism, deceiving themselves and others with its semblance of authority.

Of such a nature was the hurricane force of Saul of Tarsus' persecution of the early Christians, until blind conviction in the righteousness of his purpose yielded to spiritual revelation.
