Acts 23:1. And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. . . . . Acts 26:16. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Whether we realize it or not, we program our conscience every day. Our choice of friends, our culture --- movies, television, music, the church and the Word of God.
What can we do to keep our conscience good, clean, pure, and functioning? To re-sharpen our conscience, God has given us His written Word, the Bible, and if a believer, the Holy Spirit will coach and guide us. If we have a bad conscience because of sin, confess and repent them to Jesus. He will forgive you.
The Lord doesn’t want our conscience to be desensitized and defiled. He can cleanse a bad conscience with confession and repentance.
Thank God for your conscience. Make the most of this God given gift. Instead of letting your conscience be your guide, make sure your conscience is your God.
