How to Have a Good Conscience

A GOOD CONSCIENCE — CAN YOU SAY YOUR CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR BEFORE GOD? “Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.” — Hebrews 13:18 KJV What does it really mean to have a good conscience before God? A quiet conscience is not necessarily a good conscience. A person can become so accustomed to sin that the conscience becomes hardened and seared. On the other hand, the believer whose conscience is informed by the Word of God becomes increasingly sensitive to sin and increasingly desirous of walking in obedience to Christ. In this episode of The Brother Carlton Show, we examine A.W. Pink’s powerful teaching on the conscience and consider the marks of a good conscience: sincerity, tenderness, fidelity, and tranquility. We also consider how a good conscience is obtained and maintained through: • Daily searching of the Scriptures • Honest self-examination before God • Obedience to God’s revealed will • Watchfulness and prayer • Resistance and mortification of sin • Repentance and confession • Faith in the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ Paul said: “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.” — Acts 24:16 KJV That raises a serious question for every professing Christian: What is the condition of your conscience before God today?
