Hebrews 9:13 (NIV)
13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a
heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so
that they are outwardly clean.
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.
Thought for today :
Is my conscience under the control of God?
