Your convictions include your values, commitments and motivations. I like the definition of conviction I once heard from the great Bible teacher Howard Hendricks: âA belief is something you will argue about. A conviction is something you will die for!â. Our convictions determine our conduct. They motivate us to take a stand and to act according to our values.
