Jesus Christ is the Law Giver, the very essence of God's Law lives in born again believers, that's why unbelievers can't stand our presence, they are convicted even when we say and do nothing.
The Holy Spirit emanates from us like a gentle wind, no one can see Him but they can sure sense Him in us.
The Law in us convicts the unbeliever of their sin, without a word.
While selling ice cream one day from our booth at the fair, I was happy, friendly and engaging as the young people approached our booth to buy ice cream.
I said nothing or made no faces except a smile in serving them. It was interesting to watch the young women with immoral clothing, suddenly for no reason at all pulling the fronts of their blouses together as though they were ashamed.
This happened enough times that I had to believe it was the Holy Spirit in me that convicted the spirit in them.
You see, when the Law Giver lives in us, the Law that condemns sinners of their sinfulness is somehow flowing from us to them. They have the sense of shame, the rebellious ones become hateful, they cannot stand the conviction and will find a reason to believe we must be bad or mean for their own convicting feelings.
So, you think you should have said something, perhaps not, perhaps the Holy Spirit already said what needed to be said even without your mouth.
