FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\nStrive for a good conscience before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galatians 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the journey of life, having Good conscience is evident in one’s action.
God sees all actions, and the Bible mentions, “…For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3)<\/em><\/strong>
What is your conscience like before God?
What does it mean to have a good conscience before God in the journey of life?
Having a good conscience before God is living obediently before God as commanded for all to love.
1 John 4:8<\/em><\/strong> says it all, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”<\/em><\/strong>
Do you love God?
Do you love all?
Bible records, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: \u201cYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u201d (Galatians 5:14<\/em>)<\/strong>
Among the reasons for the commandment of God for all is to love from a GOOD CONSCIENCE. Word of God confirms, \u201cNow the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk.\u201d (1Timothy 1:5-6)<\/em><\/strong>
Having a good conscience is having God in your conscience that will mark you for God in your journey of life. Among all of God’s will is the purpose of the commandment from a good conscience.
Do you have a good conscience in all your ways before God?
Having love from a good conscience comes with action and is not hidden from God.
Having good conscience is the sense of doing right but not doing wrong before God. It is a good conscience that governs one’s thoughts and actions.
Conscience is what convicts\u2019 man to turn man from what is not right. 
One with no conscience will live life in empty pride consciously or unconsciously, the evidence of no love as commanded by God. 
Conscience is responsible for conviction in man\u2019s life. The Pharisees are the example of the lack of good conscience when they approached Jesus for judgment over a woman caught in the act of adultery, but Jesus ignored the Pharisees’ request for judgment. (John 8:7) The need for good conscience by the Pharisees was evident in Jesus’ response, \u201cThen those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one\u2026\u201d (John 8:9) <\/em><\/strong>
All should strive for good conscience and not become a victim of a lack of love before God.
Paul in his defense before Felix made it known in his statement that good conscience is to be strived for. Paul testifies, \u201cThis being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.\u201d (Acts 24:16)<\/em><\/strong> 
Think of it, if the Apostle Paul can identify the need to strive for good conscience before God, what is it that is denying you to strive for a good conscience before God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for His Spirit to be stirring you to strive for having a good conscience in life before Him.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
