Conviction vs. Obedience
Conviction is not the same thing as obedience.
For example, I may be convicted that I need to attend church regularly, but still choose not to attend & may even continue to feel bad about it. Obedience is trusting that God instructed us to be in the habit of meeting with brothers & sisters in Christ for the sake of our own souls & changing our pattern & attending church in trusting faith.
You can be convicted about viewing pornography. You can also be convicted & continue to do so. Obedience is finding satisfaction in the reality of the Gospel & being controlled by the Spirit & not viewing porn.
You can be convicted about the fact that you should share your faith more often. You can be convicted about it & yet never take the next step of actually sharing your faith.
Obedience moves, talks, cuts off, acts, rebukes, repents, etc...
