A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do I keep a clear conscience before God?
Paul speaks of exercising himself to keep a conscience void of offense toward God and others. Hebrews grounds cleansing in the work of Christ, freeing a person to serve God. First Timothy connects a good conscience with sincere faith and love, which gives the subject a relational purpose.
Honesty, Confession, and Peace With God
The quotations speak of the conscience with unusual directness. Hebrews anchors its cleansing in Christ’s work and points toward service. Read the passage, then identify whether the matter weighing on you calls for a repair, a changed habit, or accepting the forgiveness you have already sought.
Put one quote into practice
If a recent action keeps coming to mind, describe it specifically in prayer. Where repair is possible, consider a clear apology or restitution. If guilt keeps circling long after a matter has been addressed, speak with a trusted pastor, counselor, or friend who can help you consider it fairly.
