Oct 15.97: Light For The Day - "Cleansed Conscience"

A good conscience is to the soul what
health is to the body -- Joseph Addison

"... His (Jesus) blood will purify our consciences
from useless rituals, so that we may serve the
living God."
-- Hebrew 9:14b (TEV)

"Cleansed Conscience"

To have a guilty conscience is an experience.
Psychologists may define it as a guilt complex and
may seek to rationalize away the sense of guilt;
but once this has been awakened through the
application of the law of God, no explanation will
quiet the insistent voice of conscience. Many a
criminal has finally given himself over to the
authorities because the accusations of a guilty
conscience were worse than prison bars.

The Bible teaches that Christ cleanses the
conscience. To have a guilty conscience cleansed
and to be free from its constant accusation is an
experience, but it is not the cleansing of the
conscience that saves you; it is faith in Christ that
saves, and a cleansed conscience is the result of
having come into the right relationship with God.

-- Billy Graham
Prayer :
Father, I stand in awe of the magnitude of Your
forgiveness.

My conscience hath a thousand several tongues,
And every tongue brings in a several tale,
And every tale condemns me for a villain.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
