Our Conscience; Does it Serve God... or Satan?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Reclaiming Forgiven Sin

We are professed Christians, and yet are we still nervous about entering into the presence of God? Do all the sins in our lives come flooding back, and beads of sweat pop out on our foreheads at just the thought of meeting with the Creator of the Universe? This was the kind of concern the Jews who served in the temple had, and so much so that the priests who were tasked with going into the Holy of Holies would have a rope tied around them... just in case they were struck dead and their body had to be recovered. Yet we are told not to fear because we are cleansed in the blood of Christ; the perfect sacrifice... the Lamb of God. So why are we so nervous?

We have even coined a phrase to describe this feeling… we refer to it as having a “guilty conscience.” Isn’t it hard for us to be open and sincere with someone when we are plagued by guilt? Aren’t our prayers much the same? How can we speak to God, or listen to Him as He speaks to us, when we have sinned, and are overshadowed by guilt?

Conscience - The Eye of the Soul

Christian , Daily Devotional, Conscience

We will all be resurrected into judgement, so, is our conscience clear as we live out our lives 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. Is every believer equally concerned with his salvation? Paul spoke these words to Felix regarding the prophets, resurrection, and conscience...
