Good conscience in a day of grace

 Some think that living under protection of the sacrificed blood of Jesus and the grace of God is reason to ignore conscience and let it get seared. God still has wrath to spare if people turn grace into a licence for immorality. Careful lest people turn you away from your conscience. Even religious people and even religious government people might try to turn you away from conscientiously reforming while under Christ’s protection. Use grace as offering you reprieve in which to live MORE conscientiously, not LESS conscientiously. Christ offers merciful protection and by dying as holy sacrifice Christ turned aside the wrath of God and gives us breathing room, interceding when God is angry with us for our sins. Do not take it for granted. Christ says in that mercy ‘See you are not being condemned because I have interceded and mediated. Go and sin no more. Leave your life of sin.’ This grace period is there to allow us to reform. Our consciences should be telling us to use it to reform, not waste it on going against conscience. Our consciences should tell us to use this freedom time to learn right from wrong using God’s good counsel, not ignoring God. If your conscience is not seared making it numb. Some have got so fed up with the rebukes of their conscience hindering their preferred way of living. They have seared it numb by constantly ignoring it and suppressing it. Do not risk closeness of influence by them. Stay clear. Stay conscientious. Christ is coming soon. Encourage others to do the same.
