For if the blood
of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean,
sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 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? – Hebrews 9.13-15
There is not much more
precious than having a clear conscience. All kinds of things keep us from
having a clear conscience. Worry and doubt and guilt. There are few things
better than facing an new day with a clear conscience. We don’t want to enter a
difficult situation with a clouded conscience. We surely don’t want to live our
lives with a clouded conscience.
It would be lovely to say ‘I
am acting in clear conscience’ as we make choices through each day, but I think
that is a rare thing to do if I am not do doing the works of the true and
living God. My conscience is clear, not because I have done anything about it,
but because it cleared by the blood of Jesus Christ. Reliance on that is only
possible as I rely on Him because I will never be able to satisfy myself that I
have done enough.
Lets be sure that as we go
out today we do so with clear minds and clear consciences to serve God
effectively.
