What Is Conscience ?
Having a good conscience . . .
1 Peter 3:16
Today's Bible Reading: 1 Peter 3:13-17
What is conscience? God has put within each one of us something that cries aloud against us, whenever we do that which we know to be wrong. Conscience is the detective that watches the direction of our steps and decries every conscious transgression. Conscience is a vigilant eye before which each imagination, thought, and act, is held up for either censure or approval.
I believe that one of the greatest arguments for the existence of God in the world today is conscience. There is no greater proof of the existence of a moral law and Lawgiver in the universe than this little light of the soul. It is God’s voice to the inner man. Conscience is our wisest counsellor and teacher, our faithful and patient friend.
Prayer
Thank You, Father, for my conscience, which checks me and guards my actions. Help me to be alert to its promptings, through Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, I ask. Amen.
