1. First there is a
pure conscience:
I
Timothy 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure
conscience.
2. then there is good
conscience:
Hebrews
13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good
conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
3. then a weak
conscience:
I
Corinthians 8:12 But when ye sin so against the
brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin
against Christ.
Hebrews
10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an
evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Titus
1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them
that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but
even their mind and conscience is defiled.
I
Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their
conscience seared with a hot iron;
But the conscience is
always there, and cannot ignore the truth of what has
been done.
And I think that the
conscience will be there to testify to that at the white
throne judgment.
And, the only way to
escape that is:
Hebrews
9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot
to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve
the living God?
Hebrews
10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have had
no more conscience of sins.
Our conscience,
purged by the blood of Jesus, should have no more
conscience of sins.
However, we sometimes
let our old nature, or the enemy, or both, bring back
the feelings of a guilty conscience, for sins already
forgiven.
