Your conscience is your moral capacity to recognize right and wrong. Your conscience is where you experience the conviction of the Holy Spirit. … In this sense, a guilty conscience is good.
The New Testament uses four adjectives to describe the condition of one’s conscience (Titus 1:15; 1 Timothy 4:2).
Seared
Corrupted
Guilty
Clear
Treat the above bullet points as a type of thermometer. We want the reading to be as low as possible. … A corrupted corrupted conscience is one that makes it more difficult to respond to guilt. A seared conscience is one that no longer even feels the guilt. The “guilt nerve-endings” have been burned and no longer function. … Where are you on this scale and which way are you moving?
How can I move from a guilty conscience to a clear conscience?
Religious acts are not able to clear a guilty conscience (Hebrews 9:9). … No matter how much we try to make up for whatever wrong we did, the guilt won’t go away. Nothing WE DO can rid of us guilt.
The Blood of Christ can cleanse you from a guilty conscience (Hebrews 9:13-14). … Only the Blood of Jesus has the power to rid us of guilt as the once and for all sacrifice. We accept His offer of salvation and His righteousness that cleanse us.
The result is confidence and assurance (Hebrews 10:19-22) and a clear conscience (Hebrews 13:18). … Christ’s sacrifice is the only one we need and it allows us to (figuratively) enter the inner portion of the temple. We have confidence that we can approach God
Baptism is the pledge or testimony of a clear conscience (1 Peter 3:21). … This is the sign of a new Believer. … Now, we continue to sin even after baptism and need to clear our conscience. The Lord’s Supper is another symbolic act that helps us maintain a clear conscience. (Sometimes we need something physical to help us remember to do something spiritual.)
