Correctly understanding the conscience will cause all guilt, condemnation
and inferiority to vanish!
INTRODUCTION
Conscience: The Voice of the Soul
Hebrews 9:14
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
– NKJ
1 Peter 3:21
“There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not
the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.” - NKJ
1 John 3:21
“Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have
confidence toward God.” – NKJ
he Christian conscience is one of the most overlooked
and misunderstood areas in Christianity. However,understanding the conscience is vital and important! The
Christian needs to correctly understand what the conscience is,how it works and what the
purified conscience gives theborn again man. Correctly
understanding the innerworkings of the conscience
and what the blood of Jesusdoes for the conscience(once applied) will cause all guilt, condemnation and inferiority
to vanish. This one revelation will cause your self-esteem to
skyrocket and create a boldness in you that only the Spirit ofGod can produce. As you begin to put these truths into practice

they will change your whole Christian experience. It is time tolet the blood of Jesus cleans our conscience! It is time to come
off the guilt trips of life! It is time to let our self-esteem rise tothe level God intended! It is time to arise and walk in the
newness of life the Spirit of God gives!

We must start relating to whatGod has done through the
new birth, not what the devil has done through the fall.
way, we find Adam running away from God instead of runningto Him. This was because Adam now identified himself with
sin. Not only did Adam’s bad conscience cause him to viewhimself incorrectly, it also deceived him into viewing God
incorrectly. Adam thought God would find fault with him justas he found fault with himself. He expected God to judge him
the way he judged himself. But God did not! God is a faithGod! He still saw His son. God did not condemn him. He
came into the garden that day knowing already that Adam hadfailed. Yet, God came to restore him. God brought with Him
the plan of Redemption!
A guilty conscience brings feelings of shame, guilt,condemnation and failure. Self-condemnation rules one’s life
when a man’s conscience judges himself incorrectly. As aresult man begins to experience all the feelings we now see
Adam experiencing. Subsequently man’s self esteem drops.It’s never been God’s will for man to possess low self-esteem
and feel like a nobody. God made you a somebody! He wantsyou to believe in yourself and be as bold as a lion! Remember,
through the new birth, we became the best God’s got! Webecame just like the Master, Jesus Christ (1 John 4:17)!
God does not want us to possess a sin consciousness.
He does not want us identifying with works of the devil.Failure, condemnation, guilt and shame are all hell inspired.
None of these are God given (James 1:13, 17). God does notpossess these qualities. Can you give away what you do not
possess? No! God does not want His children relating to oridentifying with the devil.
God wants His children torelate to and identify with
Himself. After all, we areHis children. As children
of God we are to possess
a righteous consciousness. We are to be aware and evermindful of our right standing with God. We are to find our
17
identity in our God given righteousness, holiness and faith. Inother words, we are to relate to and identify with Father God.
The Christian must see himself as a brand new creation nevertouched by sin! We must stop identifying ourselves with what
the devil has done through the fall and start identifying ourselves with what Christ has done through salvation. After
all, which is greater: the devil’s fall or Christ’s salvation? Thenlet’s start living like it!
