Clear Consicence

Clear Conscience

Acts 24:16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. (NIV)

 

         How is your conscience? Is it clear before God and man? Having a clear conscience before man is easy because man's standards are not God's. God has a higher standard that he has set which is called righteousness. God is righteousness and he alone can define this, and therefore he has shown us this through his only son.

         Jesus showed righteousness is honoring God over man. Jesus did his father's work. The apostles in Acts say they have testified for what they have seen and what they have heard. This was keeping a clear conscience. Knowing the right that should be done and it is being done. Our conscience reminds us of our past actions and that will either bring forth guilt or peace. Jesus and the apostles wanted peace to come to mind and for that reason they worked on living for God daily. Guilt comes from knowing better and not doing what should be done. When the quiet time comes in the day your conscience will let you know you should have done better.

         Having a clear conscience is having a good relationship with God the loving father through Jesus the Christ. Knowing Jesus you know that obedience to the commandments of God is the way to live with peace. 

         So strive to always keep you conscience clear before God and man. Do it now.  God is waiting for you and is always ready. So let Jesus truly reign in your life as Lord, and surrender to his will.
