All tagged Conscience
Have you realized what your greatest enemy has been using against your fortress of faith? Have you awakened to find that he has breached your walls and that you were the one who let him in? This is what happens when our own vanity become greater than our love for God, and this is what brings the Trojan horse into our city where we find it filled with our own pride.
You are a professed Christian, and yet you are still nervous about entering into the presence of God? Do all of the sins in your life come flooding back, and beads of sweat pop out on your forehead at just the thought of meeting with the God of the Universe? This was the kind of concern the Jews who served in the temple had, and so much so that those who were tasked to go into the Holy of Holies would have a rope tied around them... in case they were struck dead and their body had to be recovered. Yet we are not to fear because we are cleansed in the blood of Christ; the perfect sacrifice... the lamb of God. So why are you nervous?
Do you feel grief today before God? Is your heart breaking within you for some sin that convicts you unrelentingly? I am not speaking about a superficial knowledge of having done something wrong, but rather the understanding of a sin that emanates from your very soul. Are you seeking repentance for wrongdoing that has brought you to godly grief?
We will all be resurrected into judgement, so is our conscience clear as we live out ourlives in faith? This morning I am concerned with allowing my own conscience to help guide me in following God's commandments, and preparing me for judgement.
