1090Acts 24:16
And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.
Bible Reading for a year:[bible]Psalm28[/bible]; [bible]Matth28[/bible]; [bible]Genes5-6[/bible]
After Ffyona Campbell became famous as the first woman to walk around the world, her joy only lasted a while. Although she received a lot of praise, there continues to bother her. Guilt took hold of her and made it almost had a nervous breakdown.
What is bothering her? "I should not be remembered as the first woman to walk around the world," Ffyona finally confessed. "I cheated." During the trip route, she violated the guidelines of the Guinness Book of World Records aboard a truck in some way in its path. To clear her conscience, she calls her sponsor and recognizes fraud.
God gave each of us a conscience that brings a sense of guilt when we do wrong. In Romans, Paul describes our conscience as "accusing or else defending them [us]" ([bible]0Rome2:15[/bible]). For a devout follower of Christ, maintaining purity of conscience is an important means of maintaining moral compass even though we are not perfect morals. Confess, repent, and sin must be paid due to our way of life ([bible] iJohn1:9[/bible],[bible]Levit6:2-5[/bible]).
Paul, who gave an example of how keeping a clear conscience, saying, "Therefore I have always tried to live with a clear conscience before God and man" ([bible]0Acts24:16[/bible]). Through confession and repentance, he keeps his life before God. Is it a sin to disturb you? Follow the example of Paul. Strive to have a clear conscience – HDF.
If the word of God guides your conscience, let the conscience be your guide.
