Conscience

Conscience is a thoughtful and insightful study of one of the most important aspects of human moral and spiritual life. In this engaging volume, the author explores the nature of conscience, examining its motives, moods, and manifestations in the light of Scripture.

Drawing attention to the meaning of the word itself, “conscience” is presented as knowledge held in conjunction with another, ultimately with God Himself. The book demonstrates how conscience functions as an inner moral witness, guiding the individual in matters of right and wrong. Before decisions are made, conscience acts as a vital influence upon the will, approving what is right and warning against what is sinful.

A healthy conscience brings peace and assurance when righteousness is chosen, while also reproving wrongdoing. However, when its warnings are repeatedly ignored, conscience can become weakened, distorted, or desensitised, eventually excusing sin rather than condemning it.

Using the Word of God as its foundation, this study carefully examines the various conditions and states of conscience described in Scripture, helping readers to understand both the dangers of a neglected conscience and the blessing of one exercised before God.

Clear, practical, and spiritually challenging, Conscience is enhanced by a helpful illustrative chart that assists readers in grasping the subject more fully. This book will prove valuable to Christians seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual discernment, personal holiness, and the importance of maintaining a conscience that is sensitive before God.
