Jul 11, 2023 · So it’s important for us to see what the Bible reveals about the conscience, and why having a good conscience is so crucial when it comes to our relationship with the Lord.

19 hours ago · 4. Conscience Is a Priceless Gift from God. The conscience is a gift for your good and joy, and it is something that God—not your mother or father or anyone else—gave you.

I feel the force of the question. Experientially, walking in a good conscience is not easy for me since I share Arnaldo’s deep awareness of my ongoing, indwelling sin. That’s Paul’s term in Romans 7:17, 20, 23. We all have remaining corruption and indwelling sin. The more keenly you are aware of that, the more you will feel embattled at the level o...
Here’s my reading of 1 John 1, starting with verses 6 and 7. Now, that is staggeringly amazing. “If we walk in the light . . . the blood of Jesus . . . cleanses us.” Wow. Here’s 1 John 1:8: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Now he’s reeling it back in and saying, “Don’t assume that when I say, ‘Walk in th...
That’s my basic answer to Arnaldo’s question. He feels that as long as he is aware of the reality of indwelling sin, as in Romans 7, he cannot have a good conscience. Now, if that were true, I don’t think Paul could ever have a good conscience, but he clearly says he does have a good conscience. “I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with ...
I think both Paul and John inherited this concept of ongoing, indwelling sin that nevertheless coexists with a good conscience from the Psalms in the Old Testament. For example, in Psalm 25, David confesses three times that he’s a sinner. “[God] instructs sinners in the way” (verse 8); “Pardon my guilt, for it is great” (verse 11); “Forgive all my ...
Here’s one last implication. People might think, “Well, how does this matter?” Here’s a concrete illustration of how it matters. Suppose a pastor is accused falsely of being unfaithful to his wife. The reason he’s accused is because someone in the congregation hates him and wants him to be dismissed. When he comes before the church or the elders to...
Apr 23, 2007 · Because of the world’s ungodly influences, it is very important for a Christian to allow His conscience to be “healed,” or renewed, to reflect God’s standards which we find in the Bible. That is why Christians cannot be guided by their consciences in most cases.
Jun 26, 2023 · The conscience is the part of your mind that makes judgments on your behavior. It either accuses or excuses you. Most of us recognize when our consciences accuse us—we feel guilt and shame. When we feel neither and have no reservations about something we did, our consciences excuse us.
