The Conscience

Introduction

We leave in a generation that sees God as a drawback, a generation that is disconnected from God and is completely okay with that.

Have you ever seen God as a drawback?

There are so many ways we can see God as a drawback, one major/common way is the conscience.

The conscience is an inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conducts or motives, impelling one towards right action.

The part of you that judges how moral your own actions are and makes you feel guity about the bad things you have done, or things you feel responsible for.

Some would call the conscience their inner voice, the light within, their sence of morality. Some even see their conscience as God speaking to them.

Why did God create the conscience

i. The conscience is a tool created by God to help guide our behaviors and to enable us make right choices.

Your conscience speaking to you is not God's voice, the conscience is merely performing its duity.

Just as a car owner would make use of his dashboard to find out if there is enough gas/fuel to run the car, you dont need your conscience to remind you that you need to buy gas or you need to stop at the nearest gas station. The dashboard is already there to perform that duity.

But dere are certain times God uses the conscience as His tool to speak to us.

Just as when a car owner would refuse to pay attention to the warnings of the dashboard, God could speak to that person through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Many today see God as a drawback in their day to day activities. With the mentality that they cannot enjoy life to the fullest because of these many Christians put up a good fight and wrestle God down in their conscience and create a seperation between them and God.

Genesis 1:26 KJV

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

What happens when a fish is removed from its natural habitat?

Or when the trees are nolonger connected to the earth?

• We were created in God's own image therefore our natural habitat is in God's presence, when there is a seperation, there can never be spritual growth.

Many kill their conscience with the mindset that now is the time to live life to the fullest and flex. After that they would put God first.

Remember...

Romans 2:15 KJV

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Our conscience would also bear us witness on the last day.
