Psalm 48:9 God, within Your temple,
we contemplate Your faithful love.
10 Your name, God, like Your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is filled with justice.
11 Mount Zion is glad.
The towns of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments.
12 Go around Zion, encircle it;
count its towers,
13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels
so that you can tell a future generation:
14 "This God, our God forever and ever—
He will lead us eternally."

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up."

" 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.' "

(The words of Jesus)

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

John 16v8
When he comes(The Holy Spirit) he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of judgment - That God is just, and will execute judgment. This is proved by what he immediately states.
The prince of this world - Satan.
The death of Christ was a judgment or a condemnation of Satan.

In this struggle Jesus gained the victory and subdued the great enemy of man.

This proves that God will execute judgment or justice on all his foes. If he vanquished his great enemy who had so long triumphed in this world, he will subdue all others in due time.

All sinners in like manner may expect to be condemned.

Of this great truth Jesus says the Holy Spirit will convince men.

God showed himself to be just in subduing his great enemy. He showed that he was resolved to vanquish his foes, and that all his enemies in like manner must be subdued.

This is deeply felt by the convicted sinner.
He knows that he is guilty. He learns that God is just.

He fears that he will condemn him, and trembles in the apprehension of approaching condemnation.

From this state of alarm there is no refuge but to flee to Him who subdued the great enemy of man, and who is able to deliver him from the vengeance due to his sins.
Convinced, then, of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and of his ability and willingness to save him, he flees to his cross, and seeks in him a refuge from the coming storm of wrath.


Which begs the Q

When He is come, to a preacher. How come so few ever preach on
Sin
Righteousness
Judgement ?

'Perhaps they have never met The Holy Spirit'

1 John 3:2

"Be hospitable to one another without grumbling."

18. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19. Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
20. Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
21. Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
22. Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who {merely} please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. (NASB, 1995)
